A crucial element of your success is how you choose and evaluate opportunities in such a way as to guarantee your new job is a better fit for you and your family.
Dr. Jon Nicholson was a full-time pediatrician and a full-time residency coordinator in a small town. Having different roles and responsibilities, being on call every other day, and missing out on family time, he felt trapped and no longer found joy in his work. After stumbling upon the book, “Stop Physician Burnout: What to Do When Working Harder Isn't Working”, he finally realized he was burned out and needed help. He then decided to move and find a new job based on his ideal job description.
Now, Dr. Nicholson has found balance by practicing in a rural community, where he always wanted, while living in Western Michigan to suit his family’s needs.
“I think the thing that helped me was broadening my horizon of what's available... There's always hope and there's so much more out there than I ever realized.” - Jon Nicholson MD
