Hey everyone,
I've been a med/surg nurse for 2.5 years. Yesterday my DON called me into her office to tell me the hospital had another nurse educator position open and she thought I should apply. I feel honored that she thought about me and recommended me for the position. I went home and talked to my husband about it. He thinks I should do it. There will most likely be an increase in pay and it will be a M-F job working 40 hrs per week. (instead of 36).
Well I thought it wouldn't hurt to send in my resume and maybe find out more information about the position. So i sent in my resume and literally within 10 minutes I was on the phone with the director's secretary. They want to interview me tomorrow!
I just don't know if I am ready to leave patient care. And do I really want to work M-F and give up all my free time? Oh decisions decisions. I don't want to pass up a great opportunity to advance my career but I'm really nervous.
Any advice or comfort would be greatly appreciated.
