Wife was a nurse at a hospital for 10 years. Got burn out and was offered a lower paying position at a GI clinic. She loves her coworkers there and the docs are great. She left a bunch of peers she liked working with but over time has decompressed and the majority of them left too. You’re making the right choice, trust us. She keeps in contact with the ones she enjoyed being around so they all still talk. Quitting doesn’t mean you have to leave the friendship behind.
