Any big change in life comes with an adjustment period, and career transitions are no exception. Whether you’re moving home for a new nursing job, taking on a new role in the medical field, or are just returning to nursing after time away, you have to be patient with yourself. To make the transition go more smoothly, pay attention to your self-care.
Take time for personal activities outside of work. Give yourself the necessary time to adjust, and remember that tackling a new role doesn’t happen overnight. Find a trusted mentor in your new job and turn to them when you need advice and guidance. It will make the transition much more pleasant.
