Feeling well and truly fed up. I’m currently on maternity leave with my 4 month old. I’ve been made redundant last week. The company has gone insolvent so applied to get my redundancy through the government which may take some time. I’m feeling at a crossroads now about my future with so much time to think…
Ok, here goes. My background….
I qualified as a Nurse back in 2020. I did one year clinical practice and just couldn’t take the stress alongside other matters (covid probably didn’t help). I was offered a job at a law firm doing medical advisory work. However, inbetween I’ve had my two children, with back-to-back mat leaves. The redundancy has given me time to think and I don’t want to go back to working at a law firm. I wasn’t truly happy there. I want to look into using my skills form my nursing degree with my experience at the law firm to change career paths. I feel I have quite good transferable skills to apply to different roles. I don’t want to re-register with the NMC as it’ll be a faff, so any registered nurse type roles is a no-no. I’ve looked into pharmacovigilance and CRA which look interesting, but need extensive experience. Then there is civil service type analytic roles. Any other suggestions I’ve not thought of? I’m going to look at doing some courses (Excel, Word, GDPR etc) whilst on mat leave to strengthen my CV. Feel so daunted with it all and to be honest a bit out of my depth as I’ve not really been in work for the last two years and now to start a fresh!
Thank you for your help in advance.
