I have just qualified as a mental health nurse and also a single parent. I struggled with childcare during my training but knew it was short placements and when I qualified, I could find a position suitable.
Here I am, qualified and still looking. I need something that are more child friendly hours. The positions that are offering me these flexible hours are services that are desperate for nurses and it's definitely not an area I want to work. I feel I'm running out of options remaining on the nmc register and may need to look in different areas.
A job in a school has come up supporting children with autism. I have a little knowledge but only little. The money is less too.
I'm really not sure what to do - any advice will be appreciated.
