Experienced hospital-based nurses seek the transition to general practice for improved work-life balance, yet often face obstacles due to perceived inexperience in primary care settings. While possessing invaluable expertise, they encounter challenges in securing roles, with hiring managers favoring candidates with prior general practice experience. However, by pursuing professional development, networking, and highlighting their transferable skills and dedication to learning, these nurses can overcome barriers and contribute significantly to general practice teams, enriching patient care dynamics.

In healthcare, nurses are heroes, but they face a crisis: burnout. First-year nurses are especially vulnerable, lacking practical support. This impacts patient care and nurse well-being as well as the success of a clinical facility. Institutions must prioritise support systems to address this issue and foster a resilient nursing workforce dedicated to excellence.

General practice nurses (GPNs) face challenges like feeling unheard by GPs, struggling to make a tangible impact, and lacking confidence in advocating for patients. To address these, fostering open communication, empowering patients with personalised care, and providing advocacy training are crucial. Recognising GPNs' vital role through initiatives like Primary Health Care Nurses Day reinforces their value in chronic disease management and the healthcare system at large.

In Australia, general practices rely on care plans and health assessments to manage chronic conditions and preventive care, with revenue ranging from $150 to $250 per care plan and $150 to $200 per health assessment. Practices conducting 60 to 85 of these services weekly can earn $9,000 to $21,250 weekly. To optimise revenue and patient care, practices have the opportunity to streamline workflows, improve documentation, and foster collaboration among the healthcare team.
