Re-inventing Your Nursing Career

There comes a time in almost every nurse’s life when professional and/or personal reinvention is called for.

Such a moment may be born of upheaval precipitated by a variety of factors, or it may simply be an inner knowing that change is needed. In any case, the common thread is that, for whatever reason, your lifestyle and/or career path are crying out for change, evolution, recalibration and renewal.

Change Comes in Many Forms

Life events that give rise to the desire for change in your nursing career may include, but are not limited to:

• A pandemic, or other local, regional, national or global crisis;
• Childbirth or adoption;
• The death of a loved one;
• Moving to a new town, city, state, region, province, or even country;
• The development of a chronic health condition;
• Injury or disability (of yourself or others);
• A significant birthday or anniversary;
• Engagement, marriage, separation or divorce; and
• Trauma of any kind.
