Background in HR and then being a PA but made a change and became a maternity assistant.
I am enjoying being more hands on with breastfeeding and other clinical skills but also at the back of my mind can't shake the feeling that I'm not using my brain. Occasionally I do some analysis and statistics and I feel like that's more going back to my office roots and calculating things and presenting the data makes me feel like I'm having to work something out again. It's not that I don't like what I have changed to but I also feel like long term I do need to do something more with my brain... but I also don't want to give up helping my ladies out!
I don't want to go on to do the midwifery degree because of the demand of the course/hours away from family and the pressure I see qualified staff under. However this then leaves me with a bit of a dilemma as to where my future lies... it would also be nice to earn something more than just a band 2 role!!
Has anyone else found they want two contrasting things at work? How do you resolve?
