Jennifer has worked as a pediatric nurse at the local hospital for the past 15 years. She notes that in the beginning, this was her dream job, and she felt that being a nurse and helping others was her calling. However, Jennifer reports that lately, this has become more and more difficult. She has noticed that over the past two years, she is not as fulfilled with her job and has lost interested in the field altogether. The stress at home has only exacerbated this, and she was recently placed on a performance improvement plan following an incident where she failed to document contact with a patient properly. If she does not meet all of the requirements of the performance improvement plan, she will be terminated. Jennifer has thought that this might not be such a bad thing, and she is not sure she wants to be a nurse anymore. Jennifer is seeking counseling for assistance with the stress that she is experiencing in her life. What stage of the Family Life Cycle is Jennifer in, and how might this influence Jennifer’s current presentation?
