About this listen
If you have been nursing for a while and you want to change careers, you may be thinking about transferrable skills. Maybe you get stuck thinking that you can’t because, what other job is going to need someone to start an IV, hang a bag of antibiotics, or clean up poop?
We’ll come back to that last one because no matter what career you move into, there’s always crap to clean up!
Normally nursing is associated with mostly “physical” tasks but nursing also encompasses other more quiet skills!
When I moved into case management, other less noticeable nursing attributes came on line. Like leadership, communication, and diplomacy skills. I still had to prioritize and critically think but in a different way. These “soft” skills gave me the confidence to uplevel myself into a new career.
You may not be putting a high value on these “soft skills” because you’re probably taking them for granted, the way I did, as something that just operates in the background.
Building these less physical skills will help you gain confidence to leverage your expertise into a new career.
Jackie Gschwend helps nurses assess the cost of staying in nursing, finding what lights you up, while getting you comfortable with taking risks, and mapping your new path.
