I am a nurse, and I have to agree that it can be a very stressful job. I hope the OP can get help to manage her IBS. I’m lucky if I can even get one bathroom break in 8 hours. If I was struggling with bathroom issues, I don’t think I could work a typical nurse job.

I have a family member with IBS, which I believe is stress/anxiety/PTSD related. It is a hard thing to live with, so the OP has my sympathy. Sounds like she needs to take another look at medications. I also would encourage her to search for some stress reducing techniques. My family member has really benefited from yoga and other exercise. Not a cure, but sure helps.
