I saw my dream job posted yesterday! It's a Respiratory Nurse Clinician job at the hospital I used to work at. I'm currently what they call a "Nurse II" basically for pay-grade purposes. The job I applied for is a "Nurse V", so it comes with a substantial increase in pay (about 32% more than what I currently make).
It's a great deal of autonomy and focuses more on patient care and education than what I'm currently doing.
I love where I am currently working. I love everyone I'm working with. But there is so much wrong so far as idiotic changes, no communication and just being dumped on (not just me, but there are so many unhappy people there for the very same reasons and so many looking for other jobs because of it). The stress level is astronomical!
I've always loved Respiratory Medicine and wanted my career to follow that path.
The job indicated that a nursing degree was preferred but that they would consider equivalent experience, of which I feel I have a substantial amount.
I sent off my resume today, so I hope to hear something by next week. I included 2 very favourable written references. Plus I used to work at the hospital so I know the policies and procedures, and combined with my experience from my current job, I think I stand a pretty good chance!
So please send lots and lots of those TCS vibes my way! They worked before when I was looking for a position for my back to work program, and then again when I applied for the job that I'm currently in!
I really, really, really, really want this other job!!!! It's in an area of nursing that I absolutely love! It gives me a huge career boost! A huge increase in income! It will open so many doors for me in the event I end up job seeking again in the future too. And best of all it's at the hospital that I started nursing at and one that I miss working at so very much! The only reason I left was because I wanted to get away from bedside nursing and wanted to work day shift. Had I found something like that I wouldn't have left in the first place.
So send those vibes!!!!
