MissRNurse

ello all!! first of all thank you for reading my post. i wanted to see if anyone can give me some interview advice. I work in a very busy floor as an RN with a high level acuity. Ive been working on this floor for two years and Im starting to realize that its not for me. the stress level is high, and i don't look forward to work anymore. So I want to try different area in nursing, hopefully I can find a fit. My question is how do I appropriately answer to my interviewer for a new job that I want to leave my current job for a less stressful job , or at least find a floor that better fits me? People have advised me I should not let potential employers know the real reason why I want to leave my current job. I love nursing and helping people. But I want to do it for a long time without getting burnt out. I want to wake up in the morning and want to come to work. Any advice or input would greatly be appreciated.

Thank you soo much jaqs for ur responses! They've been very helpful! I wish you the best at your new specialty:)

i too rcvd a phone call for a job interview tomorrow at a day surgery!!! good luck to us both :)

Hi jaqs, I love you post about CM. I was wondering if u can give me more info about AETNA, benefits and your experiences in landing your job. I've been trying to get out of bedside nursing, I realized I'm not happy and office setting is home for me. Im scared to jump into trying to get a job as a UR nurse for companies such as wellpoint and blue cross. I hear so many negatives things about these companies. So far united, cigna and aetna has been fair. Any info would greatly be appreciated, thanks a bunch.
