After a year of working hands-on with patients, I’m starting to feel worn out and am now considering different career options. My manager keeps saying I need more time at the bedside to be marketable, but I'm not sure I'm buying it. For those who left bedside sooner than the recommended time, did it really matter?

I wouldn’t recommend a different path entirely you can change your field . Nursing is so diverse the setting you’re in might be causing the burnout. I would recommend changing your specialty!

I’ve never worked in a hospital. I started at a TCU for about 2 years, did home care for about 8. The last 2 I’ve done case management at AL/memory care facilities. I love my job 95% of the time.

I think your manager is trying to get you to stay. When I started in an inner city trauma center with HUGE turnover, as a new grad, I was told by outsiders that if I worked there for 6 months I could go anywhere. I think that was pushing it a little. I heard from other experienced nurses that I wouldn’t feel comfortable in my position for at least a year, which I subsequently found to be true. When I interviewed there, the manager was so desperate for bodies, she wanted me to commit to a year. Since I had already made up my mind to stay for two, I readily agreed. I ended up staying for four and only left because they literally lost their minds with staffing (4:1 is the ratio for a tele floor, we regularly had 6:1, sometimes 7:1 and they were pushing for 8:1 when I left). My bet is that you won’t have any trouble with one year experience under your belt.

My employer has a sponsorship program that the CFA qualifies for. They sponsor 100% but only after 6 months of full-time permanent employment; thus I will qualify in may 2023 (I just started). Should I wait for may for them to pay, or pay the initial costs myself to avoid delaying my career longer? I'm 26 & 1/4th and just graduated college. My new role and future career aspirations are finance / computer engineering hybrid. Current employer is in private banking.

For the MBA programs I'm looking at this score is fine but is this a score that can help my BCG app in a MCOL Canadian city?
