I worked so hard to get onto my degree and overall I enjoyed my training but I had days like anyone else on the course and would occasionally want to pack it in, but my cohort all said they had felt the same at times. However, I feel like I have changed a lot since from when I was applying and so have my ambitions

1 year qualified, I enjoy my job but I wouldn't say it is my calling...

I am not so passionate anymore. It is just a job to me and they say as soon as it becomes that you should leave. I don't really know what to do?! I am 1 year in and I have a secure job but I am looking into medical sales. I am competitive and enjoy public speaking and travelling.

The 12-hour shifts I don't mind but I go to work to my job and come home, I don't get excited and I feel so awful and guilty about it as I am lucky to be in this profession. I do still enjoy it but it isn't my passion, I still have 30 years to go before I retire!

Try a different area of midwifery before hanging up your scrubs. It might be that you haven't found your area yet. I found the first two or three years as a nurse really tough but I found my spot and I've enjoyed my career so far.
