I'm currently a staff nurse and been qualified for 3 years and I absolutely hate it. The only time of day I actually enjoy is when I can actually spend time with my patients, like when I'm helping them get washed and dressed. I love that part then the rest of my day seems filled with endless documentation. I also hate it the stress of being a staff nurse and it's starting to impact my mental health, the worry and anxiety is just unbearable. I just think I'd be more suited to a role as HCA and having spoken to my colleagues I've found that there really isn't that much of a difference in pay. So my question is how does it all work? Has anyone had any experience in doing so? Do I just have no let my pin lapse before I can even apply for a role as HCA? Do you think employers would be put off hiring me because I hypothetically quit nursing?
