As with any career, there are many mistakes that a nurse could make. These include rushing into a job that you don’t truly love, staying stuck in a workplace that you don’t enjoy, and feeling burned out.

Your career is an important part of your life, but remember that it shouldn’t be the most important part. If you let work become your priority, you can quickly feel worn down and unsure of yourself. Take time off if you need it to recharge.

Find an employer that you feel values your skills. Find the specialty that best suits you. By prioritizing your happiness and your needs, you should be able to avoid mistakes in your nursing career.
