Being in charge of your career

Nursing is such a varied and diverse profession and there are many opportunities available for all. However, it can still be daunting to choose your first speciality as a newly qualified nurse. It can also be equally overwhelming to think about the next ‘steps’ once you’re in the nursing profession after a few years.  
Career development in the nursing is not linear and not always easy to navigate. With that in mind, this session hopes to explore the questions to ask yourself when you’re thinking about your first or next career move. The session will also explore the factors affecting career choices and how to make the most of your experiences, abilities and networks. It will also suggest some resources you might find useful and might want to access in various stages of your career. 
I hope that this session will help you think outside the box and encourage you to have the courage to go for unique and exciting opportunities during your nursing career.
