What are the best healthcare/nursing jobs for low stress? I've been working in ICU and I'm completely burned out - I need out and as fast as possible. I need any suggestions, advice, inspo, anything.

Genuine question. We constantly hear NZ has a doctor/nurse shortage, but I keep seeing stories of qualified people (IMGs, returners, career changers) struggling to get clinical entry points. Is the problem actually funding, supervision capacity, and rigid pathway... rather than a lack of people? what’s your take?

Been in a pretty standard desk job for years. It’s stable and pays alright, but I keep thinking about the healthcare industry. I’d have to retrain from scratch and probably take a pay hit for a while. For anyone in NZ who’s done it, was it manageable? Study load brutal? Finances a shock?

What are some standard interview questions and answers for a receptionist at a health clinic? I have an interview coming up and I can't find anything specific to healthcare online. I'm confident with answering about soft skills, but what software or technical questions are they likely to ask?

Here's my weird situation: I started a contract as reception in a medical centre a week ago, covering someone for maternity leave, who is still there for another week. My desk and email is all set up but I have minimal work to do because she hasn't taken leave yet LOL. It's so awkward and the days go slowly - what are some things I can volunteer to do? Yes I have asked my colleagues but they just say don't worry about doing anything right now. What would you do? I'm so bored...

I’m in high school and planning to go into nursing but wondering which specialisation? I want to help people but I don't want to be in a stressful or toxic environment. My mum is a nurse in geriatrics and she loves it. Does anyone know of some other areas of nursing that aren't too stressful?

To the people working in healthcare, especially nursing, are there full-time jobs that offer good work-life balance? I have been doing shift work for a few years now and while I enjoy most of it I’m always tired and no energy for hobbies or socialising. Would a private practice offer more balance? All advice and opinions welcome.
