THEY want ME

I have been wanting to get into a particular specialty of nursing for over a year now - very specific and difficult to get into (pain management) as there aren't many jobs. I have the background and have done some study but have been lurking for the opportunity. I approached them earlier this year about doing some time with them and have chatted with them on and off. I did one shift but life caught up with me. I got an email yesterday from them asking me if I was interested in doing more shifts with them as they have recently got more funding. Oh yes indeedy. And what makes it better is that I was told (by one of the seniors) that they only take the very best. So they obviously think I have what it takes. YAY ME

Congratulations!! That sounds like an interesting area, what made you choose it, what is interesting about it to you? I'm always interested in why nurses & drs choose particular specialties

I'm always interested in why nurses & drs choose particular specialties Me too. I am starting my grad program soon and will be thinking about specialising. What does a pain management nurse do exactly?

I have a love hate relationship with our pain team, as I work in ICU. I do, however respect their knowledge and input when it comes to weaning sedation, and in particular burns and other neuropathic type pains. Congratulations. there is nothing quite like your own niche, I know I've found mine and I love it!
