Hi all, I've only just started my maternity leave and am currently 36 weeks pregnant. Already I'm looking at my options upon the dreaded return to work next year! I'm a nurse in the NHS and hate my job. I'm very passionate however my ward is in very bad shape and the hospital I work in is in special measures so it's incredibly stressful. Add to that a manager that insists on giving us all double our contracted hours most of the time due to staff shortages and then bullies us when we dare to speak out about how unacceptable this is and I'm sure you can understand why I'm already considering my options when having to go back.
I know I don't have to go back to this ward or even this trust at all, as long as I return for 14 weeks; however I'm looking at options for further study once I'm due back, hopefully starting the midwifery short-course. Does anyone know if this is an option as it would be an NHS course?
Thanks in advance :)
