Summary
I have been a dedicated RN for 14 years - my experience spanning from Pediatrics to ICU to instructing and everything in between; however, I am planning to leave my nursing career due to exhaustive hours (10-13 hour days) and varying on/off days. I feel that particular skills that I have utilized in my nursing career will allow me to be successful in a new career outside of nursing such as: strong communication skills, time management skills, teamwork skills, and compassion/positive attitude towards others to name a few.
As I am getting older, my goal is to begin a new career with more structured work days/hours and a healthy working environment. I would love to be a part of a career within my local community and one that gives back to my community - a career that people associate with positively. I feel that I can be a positive asset to a new career.
