I would like to say yes but my current job is therapy led so the occupational therapists and physios tend to do better, nursing is a smaller part of the team. And i am not sure really, i think because the scope here is too small I would be too bored having to wait for it. ITU is intensive care, and i agree I am conscious that i dont want to keep shifting around so to move again I need to get a few years in.

Sorry I couldnt find a UK specific forum. Im in the UK, i will try and post this somewhere else

Just after some advice. Im 2 years qualified, i have a year in an AMU and a year in A+e under my belt. Had to move to a new area because of my wifes job. There wasn’t much job choice and I couldnt find any acute so i got a job in the community for an MDT rehab team. So the pro’s are its good hours, flexible, no nights and im out and about. The job is fairly easy, not like district with a massive patient load, coming from ED its a doddle. Cons is I feel like im de skilling and its quite boring. Its therapy led so as nurses we dont have much input despite the normal skin and medication stuff. I do want to progress into management at some point and im just wondering whether my next few years would be better spent elsewhere. Theres a job come up in ITU but its still early days. Plus its back to shifts and nights. Am i wasting my time here? Would i better off going back into acute care. I dont feel like ive found my niche yet and have no idea what to do with my career. Thankyou for reading, any advice would be grand.
