What is this article about?

For many nurses and other healthcare professionals, a career consists of a job that you do in order to pay the bills and put food on the table. While this is generally the most common reason for working in the first place, some nurses find that there’s much more to it than that.

Nice to provoke those inner thoughts & feelings why I became a nurse in the first place. Somehow over the years this got lost and being reminded of the reasons has given me a boost to continue just when I feel I’m ready to crash & burn.

Sometimes I find it really hard to make time for my learning, but I was blown away by how easy it is with the Ausmed app. I can fit it in during breaks or on the bus to work.
