Changes…

I’ve been on my step-down floor for almost a year. And, I’ve loved [almost] every minute of it. (Granted, getting a water jug thrown at my head wasn’t my favorite, but it’s not the first time someone has thrown something at me at work…) My co-workers are amazing. I love going to work knowing they are there. Nonetheless, I have really come to appreciate the patient who is sicker.

So, [insert dramatic pause] I’m transferring to Intensive Care! The hospital I work at has 3 different intensive care units, and most of the critical care nurses float between the three. I’m pretty excited about the new opportunity, but also, I’m a little sad to be leaving my awesome co-workers.

This change takes place in a couple of weeks. In order to transfer, I have to go back on orientation for a while. I can’t wait to tell you what happens along the way…
