Yup I do! A new job. I have been wanting to make a change for awhile now but I had no sense of direction for myself. I thought about critical care because I would love to have that knowledge in my bag of skills. However, I know myself and I do not think I would enjoy that stressful enviroment. If I am going to learn something I am going to put the proper time into it. I could not see myself happy while I learn in an enviroment I find stressful. I already have one of those...school... I can handle that for ten more months.
So I decided to stay where I am at till I am done with school. I even found ways to make my job more enjoyable and less stressful at times. I went to work and focused on my attitude and work was better. (Amazing, huh) Well of course once we figure stuff like that out...Life changes. I was at work and one of the nurses said did you hear about this doctors new nursing position. She told me all about it and I though if I was not in school that would be the job for me. Then someone said don't let school hold you back if you think you are the one for the job go for it. So that day I submitted my application.
Blah Blah Blah
I interviewed and turned down the job. The doctor asked me to reconsider...he thought I was just scared.
Blah Blah Blah
I reconsidered and got the job!!!!
So what is the job you ask. I will be working for one of the Orthopaedic Surgeons. I will meet his patients in clinic and start educating them about their surgery and put a face with the voice that will be calling them in the coming weeks. Prior to their surgery I will help them prep. Once they have surgery I will visit them in the hospital help make sure they are getting the care they need, round with the doctors, make sure homehealth is arranged according to their needs. Then I will make follow up calls a week after surgery. It is a lot of new stuff, but I think it is the patient interaction that I love. It will be a great learning opportunity and an awesome piece to a future resume.
I am excited and nervous.
I feel the Lord has guided my career thus far so I can go forward with faith that this is the right move for me!
Big thank you to everyone that has had a hand in my life thus far. You each made a difference!
Thank You!
You are my Sunshine
I love you Grandpa!
I hope you have always known how much we love you!
