So, I burned myself out of the ICU.

And then I tried floor nursing–a stepdown unit, and lord, I don’t know how you floor nurses do it.  Four patients, 12 hour rotating shifts, no help from anyone…I lasted a month.

And then I tried other things.  Interviewed and shadowed in a GI suite, an OB clinic. Sent resumes to the PICU, the Burn/Trauma unit.  Considered going back to the ICU.  Nothing–not one of those things caught my interest.

So now, for something completely different.  Visiting Nurse Service–home health care–road nursing.  Call it what you want; from now on, I’m trying out something new and hoping for the best.  And hopefully, blogging my way through it.

Into the Unit won’t be up for much longer–the domain expires in a few weeks, and I don’t plan on keeping it up.  But as ItU ends, Road Nurse starts–orientation starts Monday, and I’m looking forward to it.  Here’s to new starts!
