How do I appoach my manager to suggest a career break? Nurses?


I'm a nurse and work in cardiothoracic critical care and really want to go over to Australia next year and work for a couple of months. (I would probably use 4 weeks leave) I'm not really sure how to approach my manager to ask for the time off, and how to persuade her this would be a good idea for the unit etc..... any ideas?
Any managers out there can give me their side of things?
Obviously I can go down the line of, getting experience which I can bring back to the unit etc etc, life experience etc.... I don't know!
I have kiwi citizenship and passport so it really would be a waste not to travel over there and experience it a little; I won't even need a visa etc....
any help would be great xx

write to your manager stating your requirments don't try to offer any good points that might be to the advantage of the department,career breaks often end in the person not getting their old job back some do others don't,I don't blame you for wanting to see Austrillia, while your there why not visit New Zealand,

just book the time off, that's what my mother did when she was a nurse
