Nurses who left the profession - what did you do next?

[Workinprogress30]

Just that really! Considering a career change. I know jobs may not be as available at the moment, but I am still looking...

I went back to college and did a Medical Secretaries diploma (2 years full time). Much nicer job as 9 to 5, but worse pay and same level of stress.

Nurse advisor for ambulance service or 111.

Pharmaceutical companies.

Trainer for medical devices.

Working in Occ Health.

Teaching.

Thank you for your suggestions.
Does anyone know what would happen to my registration if I took a job for a year as a band 4? (It’s a training opportunity). I have phoned the NMC but she really didn’t sound like she understood me/knew what she was talking about

Nothing, so long as you meet the criteria when you are due/plan to revalidate.

Thank you
