In this episode, I’m starting a new series called, “Roles in Nursing”. Throughout this series, I’m going to talk to nurses doing a variety of different roles so that we can learn about the many options available to nurses.

In last week’s episode, I asked the question, “is it time for you to leave nursing?” With the Roles in Nursing series, I hope to show that there are jobs, within nursing, that can help you stay in nursing, and even find joy.

For this episode, I interview Janessa. She is a 15-year nurse who has been working as a school nurse for the past 5 years. You can find her on TikTok @thenursesoffice.

You can learn more about becoming and being a school nurse by visiting the National Association of School Nurses.

Nursing is a mess right now. Maybe messier than it’s ever been. At the same time, the issues we see are getting more attention than they ever have.

So, this raises the question, is it time for you to leave nursing?

In this episode, I address the question of whether or not it’s time for you to leave nursing as well as give you some things to think about that might help you love nursing again.

It’s so easy to lose yourself in your job, title, or the endless list of tasks that YOU must complete. In this episode, I share my own experience with this and talk about what you can do to find yourself again.

In addition to the tips I mention in this episode I’m doing a workshop to help you rediscover who you are, determine who you want to be, set priorities based on these, and set real next steps for putting them into action.

I hope you enjoy this episode.
