Hi I'm a final year student studying in London. I've always had a hard time with assertiveness. Saying no is extremely difficult, especially when crossing paths with difficult people. My question is, does assertiveness come with position and seniority? Not entirely of course but at least a bit? For example becoming a nurse manager, would people naturally not give as much of a hard time and would the position give you that natural confidence? Assertiveness just doesn't seem to be in my personality, or any type of conflict. Any general advice as well as answers/ideas to my question would be much appreciated. J

Thanks SilverDragon, it sounds like a lot of work but no doubt it must be very worth it

Hi I'm a final year student nurse studying for my degree here in London. After about 2 years experience on a ward I'd like to move to New York, I'm here to ask if anyone has done this or if not New York, moved from the UK to any other state in the US to work as a nurse. If so, could any of you point me in the right direction/give me a rough guide on what steps need to be taken? What I'm wondering about the most is the required obstetrics and child nursing experience needed (I do the adult branch). How did you go about getting this and how much of it do you need exactly? Thanks for any help J

Hi everyone, going to qualify July 2015 and was wondering what a newly graduated nurse's options for jobs are outside of getting a job on a ward. Thanks all,
