GUT Feelings
Jun 14, 2022
Hello, my fellow superstar Nurses. So, we are at that point again, where we are always transitioning from one point of our career to the next. The fact is, it is never easy to make a career move whether it is changing departments or hospitals. You know you want a change but you're not sure how to make the move. So, I'm here to help because I too have been where you have been and you keep on wondering. Some key steps will propel you into your destiny by helping you to make the next step. A few questions to answer are:
1) Am I ready for a change. Have I garnered the skill set and capacity of the area I am in now to transition to another phase? For example, my skill set and ability have reached their capacity with handling Medical-Surgical clients and I can now handle a higher level of care.
2) What department do I see myself in and is it for me? How will I know, one might ask. Looking from the outside in will not help. The key is to interact with someone from the department and get a perspective, as well as, seek an opportunity to shadow in the department. Doing that will facilitate the key questions and thoughts that lie within your heart and answer that gut feeling you have been experiencing.
3) Decide where you see yourself now and in the future. Will this shift to another department facilitate my future career path and assist me in my final destination. If your answer is yes, then you are ready for this bold move. If not, then you will need to re-evaluate and get things into perspective. You need to write down your priorities and goals. At the end of the day, it is about you and what you want. You must be content with your decision and there should be no second guess.
Utilize my three shoe steps and move into a path that will channel you into making bigger steps for your career path. Remember, do what you love and what you love will work out for you.
