Hello everyone! I was trying to give my friend some insight on reasons not to leave school nursing for her first bedside nursing job. She is not a part of this wonderful community so I will have to show her your responses.
She says she loves school nursing (4 yrs), but says this is an opportunity too good to pass up. I told her consider her age (44 yrs, not old just being realistic) and how hard bedside nursing is on the body, plus it is a night shift.
What are your thoughts???
Thank you in advance!!
I am only leaving school nursing to finish my Masters in Nursing Education and we are moving to Florida. Otherwise, I would NEVER EVER give up my job! I will cry buckets of tears when I leave in May. I will miss my wonderful staff, students and nurses I work with in my district.
At least there are waves to watch in Florida, rotsa ruck, don't be a stranger
Plus, I started the health education program at my charter school. I love teaching health. Love it. And the kids. I love the kids.
Me too! I develop and teach the Health curriculum at my K-6 school as well and have been surprised how much I love that portion of my job! It makes my days crazy sometimes but I look forward to it every day!
