hiya,
I’ve been a registered nurse for 3 years & have recently moved interstate to broaden my practice & spread my wings etc. Recently i’ve been feeling like i’ve lost the love for my job. I currently work in Paediatrics but am wondering if my calling is more in dermatology or more out of hospital nursing? I am struggling lately with the lack of purpose i feel as a hospital nurse and that I am making no difference in the world.
Does anyone have any ideas for pathways or job opportunities? TIA

Hi Kelsey, I'm not in nursing so I don't have any relevant tips sorry but just wanted to say that I have to take my kids to the hospital for some check ups pretty regularly and the nurses make such a massive positive impact to their experience - so thanks for that. Totally get you might need a change though and really hope you find something that works for you.

If can be a tricky one to answer Kelsey but it does sound like you're asking a lot of good questions. Are there any nurses in some of those other areas you're interested in you can chat with?
