💼 You don’t have to be religious to think of your vocation as a calling.   Professor Amy Wrzesniewski now at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, has focused her scholarship on the workplace and developed three types of career orientations.    💵 A means to an end / mostly just a paycheck.  💼 A way to advance / earn prestige.  ☎️ Integral to identity and purpose — a calling.    Wrzesniewski’s research showed that those who view their job as a calling have higher satisfaction at work and more generally in their life.    This is especially apparent in healthcare.   The Bureau of Labor Statistics says nearly one-in-10 U.S. workers is in the healthcare field. Most are clinicians of one kind or another.   And they show us — every day — what it means to be led by a calling.   It’s infectious.   Our partner physicians are so clearly led by more than a paycheck or prestige. When their patients are in crisis, it’s their long-time family physician who will be taking the overnight call. It’s their calling.   Our nurses at Wellvana are spent after a day of remote patient care because they are so emotionally invested in keeping their patients as healthy as possible. Whether our patients are in the midst of suffering or celebrating renewed health, our nurses feel it, too. It’s their calling.   Then there are those of us who’ve spent a career in healthcare but always worked outside of direct patient care. This is why we share the powerful stories from our partner practices and from our Care Team. Their calling becomes our calling.   Our calling is caring.   And with caring as our calling, it's not so hard to get right out of bed every day.   Because we have much work to do. One day at a time. One patient at a time.   What’s your calling? #valuebasedcare #patientcare #healthcare

🔊 🏥𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗕𝗲𝗱𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀💻 🫀A few years ago, the faint glow of IV pumps and the rhythmic hum of ventilators were my constant companions. Back then, the thought of being anywhere else, doing anything different, seemed distant. But as life often does, it took its turns, leading me here, writing this very post from my desk. 🥳Today, I celebrate reaching 2,000 amazing followers on this platform, but 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗮 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆. 🩺My new path is about guiding others towards finding their own version of professional fulfillment.

1 reason clinicians want to leave clinical care: limited career growth opportunities! Many promote the ability to move within a company for nonclinical roles. (Especially management roles) Is that true or a lie? I share my experience and what you can do if you're seeking new opportunities. P.S. What has your experience been? #nonclinical #careertransition #networking #careergrowth #management https://lnkd.in/gZD6yjw3
