What about joining a locum agency for a bit.. something may come of that with a permanent position in a nice practice. I did this years agon shortly after qualifying and hadnt been happy in my first two practices.. pay was awful etc .. it was way back in the 90s .. but locumming was really good.. got to see lots of different types of practice, pay was great, and when i started locumming regularly at Putney RSPCA , really upped my skills as they really used their nurses skills properly... was literally NEVER on reception ,never did nights, had proper responsibilities - felt professional for once! even got offered a proper job there but I was relocating to Bristol - such a shame - wish id stayed! Go for change!! lifes too short not to x

Don’t be afraid; I was in my last practice for 11 years ; started there as a Svn worked my way to Head nurse; got very frustrated and realised I wasn’t being paid for what I was worth; it was a big change and a huge worry as I’m the only bread winner ; I finally plucked up the courage to leave; the new job didn’t work out; I was there for 3 months;; I moved on again and it’s been the best decision I made; it can be a risk and a bit scarey but it’ll be ok ; good luck

change means risking the status quo. The status quo is what you know and therefore already 'safe' in your mind, even if it's a bad fit. there's no guarantee with risking it but the exciting thing is... It could be worth it. Emphasis on the could be. Reduce the risk by doing extensive research before you leap into your future. But, still understand that life doesn't come warranted against chaos! On balance, you will always regret what you didn't try; unless you need safety over fulfilment, give it a go.

It's your one life. Live it well.

Happy Easter. Rise to your occasion! Xxx
