<h2>Learn Something New</h2>

<div>
  No matter how far you get in your career, there are always opportunities to
  advance your knowledge and skills. It can be difficult to not get caught up in
  the daily grind and lose sight of what drew you to the field. Make 2017
  professionally fulfilling by making it a priority to learn something new. It
  could be anything from pursuing a certification, attending a conference, or
  just reading up on a topic of interest. By doing so, you will renew your
  passion and enthusiasm.
</div>

<h2>Expand Your Resume</h2>

<div>
  Becoming a well-rounded healthcare professional can increase the possibilities
  down the road. Prevent yourself from getting stuck (or remaining) in a rut by
  taking on new opportunities to expand your resume. Try out assignments in
  different specialties or facility types/sizes. The more areas of experience on
  your resume, the more competitive you will be when you pursue future
  opportunities.
</div>

<h2>Network With More People</h2>

<div>
  Forming professional connections with other healthcare professionals can
  improve your future career outlook, as well as increase your current job
  satisfaction. Make it a priority to try to get to know people during your
  assignments and stay in touch after. You could receive job leads down the line
  or use them as references. Plus, it makes the short-term experience less
  lonely if you make it a point to network with the people around you.
</div>

<h2>Improve Work-Life Balance</h2>

<div>
  Healthcare may be a rewarding field to work in, but it can be stressful and
  exhausting at times. To ensure that you are able to provide top notch care to
  patients, as well as care for your own needs, take precautions to prevent burn
  out. Look for short-term assignments in interesting places, and then give
  yourself time to check out the sights or partake in your leisure activities of
  choice after work. You&#39;ll feel more refreshed and able to give it your all
  during your shifts.
