Calling Hemodialysis and Nicu Nurses! Influence/De-Influence me? Pros and cons?
So I am a new grad and currently working in NICU for almost 2mos at a private hospital here sa PH. And it has been a wonderful experience handling babies, I’m slowly falling inlove with the area. However, for the longest time HD nurse talaga gusto ko because from what I’ve heard and seen during my student nurse days, may work-life balance yung mga HD nurses. I am an artist din po kasi, and I would prefer din talaga to have time to make art and if walang night shifts. In terms of going abroad, same reason din po and I am leaning more to working in clinics instead of bedside.
So what’s holding me back from handing the request for transfer letter is I’ve grown fond of NICU and I guess nahihiya ako about what my seniors might think if I transfer and they’ve been so good to me. Also, of course, practically speaking din, which would be a better credential or more in demand abroad in 1-2 years? Unfortunately, alam ko naman na hindi ko always maba-base according sa need ko to do art 😔.
I am not pitting NICU and HD against each other po. Just a really confused baby nurse worried for their future and needing advice. Thank you so much in advance!
