No professional wants to have an unnecessary break in their employment history. Deciding to leave a job is never an easy one and there are many factors to weigh and consider. If you’re in a nursing job that you know isn’t the right fit for you, it can be hard to know when to walk away. The best thing to do before leaving a job is getting new opportunities lined up. When you’re sure that your current job is one that you simply can’t stick with any longer, you’ll have other options available. It’s time to walk away from an unfulfilling nursing job when it starts impacting on your emotional health. At that point, you’ll be ready for a better position in the field.
