I am having difficulty getting a job in My speciality- as a nurse, i have been on 2 years extended maternity leave.
Due to fnancila pressure i took a lower band job in nursing- band 5, but only 3 weeks in i feel i should have stuck to applying for jobs in my speciality. Thing is, if i do not practice by febuary my qualification will expire as i need to practice within 3 years.
I feel quite down about this job as i feel i have let myself down and demoted myself. i feel i should keep fighting for my higher level specilaity job.
If i'm having doubts, i feel i should mention to my current manager i will not be staying and will be applying for jobs in my speciality. This came up at my intervew and i said i wanted to practice this type of nursing - current job.(suppose i was convincing myself)
Should i keep working and applied for jobs quitely, or should i come clean and tell my boss i might not stay. i will need to make excuses to attend interviews.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
