9 Ways to Progress your Nursing Career in Clare
Life as a Nurse in County Clare
Nursing is a career with unlimited potential for growth. And the good news is you don’t have to be based in one of Ireland’s bigger centres to capitalise on these opportunities. At TTM we work with many Nurses in our home county - county Clare - who enjoy the benefits of a slower pace of life while advancing their careers in different directions. We thought we’d share these opportunities with you…
#1 Grow From Different Experiences
As a Nurse in Clare, have you thought about agency work? Working as Temporary Nurse in Clare is an excellent way to not only enjoy work flexibility – it also allows you to grow your experience and skills across different healthcare settings and types of Nursing.
At TTM we offer Temporary Nursing jobs in Clare in services that include residential care, intellectual disability support and elderly care. From working in acute hospitals to jobs in nursing homes and community units – there are so many options. Agency Nursing is also a clever way to sample different Nursing roles before committing to one. And there are plenty of Nursing jobs in Clare: we have Tier 1 status with the HSE for the provision of short-term Temporary and locum Nurses and Midwives. This means you can access the best Nursing shifts across all HSE services throughout Clare, with jobs in Ennis, Scariff, Kilrush, Ennistymon, Tulla, Broadford, Sixmilebridge and Bunratty. We can also offer you Nursing jobs in Clare with private and voluntary organisations.
#2 Further Education and Specialisation
As a Nurse in Clare, you might consider pursing a master’s degree in nursing (MSN) or a doctorate (PhD or DNP). This will allow you to specialise in a particular area or prepare for advanced practice roles. For example – you could progress to become an Oncology Nurse, an Emergency Nurse or a Midwife. You can pursue a Master of Science (MSc) in Nursing and other postgraduate programmes at nearby University of Limerick.
#3 Leadership Development
Think about seeking out leadership roles which allow you to take on more responsibility. For example, your Nursing job in Clare might give you the opportunity to become a Clinical Team Leader, Ward Manager or Clinical Nurse Manager. By developing management skills, you could look towards roles such as Matron or Director of Nursing.
