I’m considering going back into nursing a job I loved but I was a psychiatric nurse and was seriously assaulted in 2010 when I left my job. Looking back, I worked all the hours God sent thinking I was doing the best for my family. At the time I had 4 children. But I dealt with the stresses of work and the assault negatively, probably drank too much. Forward to now. I don’t drink. Haven’t for about 6 years. I have another child. My little girl, my guardian angel. My two eldest daughters (now 21 and 19 are at uni) and no longer are at home. My two sons (16 and 14) and of course my 5 year old daughter are at home. My husband has never asked me to return to work, but I feel guilty because he works so hard for the minimum wage on a zero hours contract. So I feel I should go back. I have never worked as anything else and I doubt I’m clever enough to do anything else. I qualified in 1995 and would have to do a back to nursing course. But I’m scared of going back to it. I’m scared I’ve forgotten everything I ever knew. Any thoughts anyone?
