When did nursing start feeling natural for you? It's my first year, and I'm waiting for confidence to kick in, but nothing yet.

It takes some time. I feel like it took me a year to start feeling natural and like I actually knew my job. Give it some time, your confidence will kick in and it will feel natural.

What you are experiencing is completely normal. There is so much to know and think about with nursing, and the stakes are high if you get something wrong. It is normal to be anxious about that, at least I know I was for my first couple of years. Stick with one of the older nurses to help boost your confidence.

Couple years !

You gain more confidence each day

I would like to hear out your opinions on internal salary negotiations at the back of promotion.

I'm a Business Analyst with over 10 years experience, been in the same company for the whole time, Currently, I'm below Average Industry standards by approx. 10% for my (current) role.

I have applied for internal job which is effectively one level above, meaning it would be a promotion.
