Finally hung up my fob watch

Published

It finally got all too much (the NHS) and several days ago I left my job as a staff nurse, I feel so sad as i do really love nursing, but all the staff shortages, and the expectation of more work with fewer resources has made me opt for a career change (and the thought of an "easier" worklife away from the NHS). Has anyone else left and had a career change (or considered it?). Thanks for listening

Specializes in not qualified yet, ask me soon! x.

Hi ya, im sad to hear you have left the NHS. Do you have anything else in mind. It does make me a bit pessimistic about my future as a nurse here in the Uk, as im only a second yr student. Thats why i plan to immigrate once qualified. Do you have any words of wisdom for a second yr about to go into the big wide world of the nhs for a short time. :confused:

Sorry to hear that things have gone so bad for you, Have you thought about practice nursing... I love it, can be busy but a different type to in a hospital..

At the end of the day you have to do what is best for your health and if that means a career change then so be it

good luck on what you decide
