returning to work............

[uk_nurse]

hi All

i have been off work sice nov 04.......due to complications in my 4th pregnancy and maternity leave. i am going back part time (nights) in sept. The thing is i dont really want to return to nursing. so much has happened on the ward i was on. i think i may be feeling like this cos i have been out of nursing for so long. i have only been qualified for just over 2 yrs as a paeds nurse. i feel i want to do some studying. i tried to get on the Health visitors course was accepted at uni but cant get sponsorship as not many places available. so thats gone out the window. Also moving house in next few weeks too.Perhaps i will feel better when im back at work

Get back in there, allow time for re-orientation and then decide. I feel a bit out of sync after a week off so you are not feeling anything out of the ordinary.

Your fellow nurses will help you with the transition I am sure.
