What's up, yall?! Hopefully everyone still has all their fingers after this July 4th holiday, yes? Actually, that's why I'm updating so soon again - I got a job! In a trauma department, where people lose fingers by various means on a regular basis!
I have a few more weeks off thankfully, but managed to land a job as a trauma nurse clinician at a good hospital in my area. I'll be doing a good chunk of bedside nursing, some paperwork, some chart auditing, and some inpatient rounding. I know every hospital has its faults, and this one will be no different, but I have a few former coworkers who are also at this facility and speak highly of it.
I am super excited to start. It's been a long time since I've had a fresh beginning and this place has a lot to teach me. Walking away from my previous job was hard to do, but I feel joy over the decision and now a lot of excitement about the challenges of the job I'm about to start. I dreaded the thought of just jumping to another random ER to continue the beatdown, but this job is combining my love of trauma care with a good facility and lots of resources. Perfect!
Currently I'm going to continue my old lady gardening and hanging with the family at the pool summer break, and I'll keep yall updated on how the new job goes once I start!

Wooo! Congratulations!
When I was in the OR many moons ago, I worked with a general surgeon (no trauma specialists back in the day and psychiatrists actually covered in the ER!) but I guess that's a tale for another day! Anyhow this surgeon could make a very convincing argument that the only surgery performed should be for trauma because "things can only get better," He also thought that since elective procedures had so many complications, a government entity should have oversight. "If a drug caused as much pain and disability as some surgery, the FDA would have taken it off the market.
I hope you find peace and fulfillment in your new position! I commented here awhile back, but it must have vanished in the ether! Wishing you and your hubby the very best!
