Upon our recent survey of nurses in public and private hospitals all over Melbourne we were confronted daily by the fact that many nurses want more out of life than what they currently have.

Everyday we would hear comments like:

• I'm thinking about changing careers!
• I want to do something else, but I don't know what?
• I need to make a change!
• I'm thinking of making a move....but to where?
• I want more money!
• I'd like to get involved with an overseas aid organization!
• I think I'd like to start a business?
• I wish I had a mentor!
• I want to go overseas!
• I'm wondering if I've chosen the right career?
• I'd like to specialize, but I don't know which direction to go in!
• I hate nursing!
• I'm interested in rural and remote work!

Many nurses appeared to simply have a hunger for greater challenge (personal or professional) and / or wanted more out of life.  We also encountered nurses of varying degrees of disillusionment, frustration and sometimes disappointment.
After all, where do you start when you want to make a change in your life?

is a genuine response to the heart of today's Australian nurses!

Is it possible to love your job?  Is it possible to feel passionate about what you do?  Is it possible to feel empowered and know that you make a significant difference?  Do you have the courage to make the change you want?

The answer is “YES!”  A thousand times yes!  Sometimes we just need a kick-start!
That's why we're here.
