Hi, I'm currently having a work related dilemma. I'm a nurse and I started a new job, 18 months ago which was a bit of a leap of faith as its in a speciality I hadn't previously worked in. Its been a steep learning curve and I enjoy aspects of it. Its more hours and a higher banding so the extra money has been great! The team are lovely and supportive and its flexible in terms of planning my own diary. However, it is not a speciality that I particularly enjoy. Its fairly stressful and I don't find it offers much job satisfaction due to limited resources etc.
I have been looking for something else.
My previous role is currently being advertised (I have kept in touch with the team and am good friends with them) and I'm so tempted to apply for it. I liked the role, I just fancied a change/challenge and at the time was a bit cheesed off with management.
It would literally be going backwards and I would lose money. I really don't know what to do but it would feel like a big weight off my shoulders.
Deep down I feel like I should hang fire and wait for something else to come up that is the same band I'm currently on, but I also don't want to miss the opportunity to go back to a role that I feel 100% comfortable and confident with.
What to do??
