Well. General practice is less stressful than most acute/aged care/community health settings. Every job has high pressure sometimes. I don't think it will be difficult for you to handle that stress. I want to work in general practice but haven't got any chance. You should consider it carefully. Cheers
Hi PogzRN,They advised me that the role is high pressure. So I am seeking to find out the perspective of other practice nurses about the role as practice nurse?
Practice Nursing is a different stress to hospitals- you maybe the only nurse there and have to use your own judgement. For me (a practice nurse/ ex hospital nurse) the pay is appalling!!!
If you need money don't go to GPLand, the unions don't care and every practice pays differently. If you are happy where you are- stay

Hello
Just wanting to get some information about Practice Nurse roles? I had a job interview today and just feel so unsure about taking it.
I was informed in the interview it is high pressure job role? Can anyone elaborate to clearly explain to me. I have a current job right now working in the community and feel reluctant to give it up for Practice Nurse. I am going with my intuition at the moment to not take the practice nurse position.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. thank you :)
