Goodbye hell hole job. Hello Surgery......I have Missed you.

Well, it have not been a long journey but I have learned SO much, gained some street smarts, know more than I should about illegal drugs and living environments of our poor population.

What happened?......Well Walter had a procedure a couple of weeks ago. I was allowed to go back with him. Surgical suite........my eyes glowed, my heart quickened, and my nostrils took in the smell of sterility. I was home.

I left when he was done and anesthesia had worn off. I got home and the itch started. I went back to work the next day and it was a Monday. I worked but there was something different. I was freaked out about roaches that crawled over my feet in the field, I was unhappy driving, and kept thinking "Why? Why am I doing this?" I am very emotionally fulfilled by it, but something changed.

The following Sunday night I had insomnia, could not sleep for anything. So I made up a family emergency and called in on Monday. Threw out some texts and e-mails and had a job that day. Completed my drug test, TB, CPR etc the next day on the down low at work. I turned in my notice last Friday.  My resignation was accepted and today I was allowed to leave with a 2 week severance. WOW!!!! I start my new job Tuesday. I am happier than a pig in shit. My brain is wired for the Operating Room. Its like a old friend, you finish each others sentences, know what the person will do next....The OR has been that way for me. Comfort. I never would of left had I not injured my shoulder while working..... But it did allow me other opportunities that has made me well rounded more so as a nurse.

Now....what hat shall I wear? And shoes....my Red patent leather Dansko clogs or the Tiger eye Patent ones?.....
