I really do like my new job as charge nurse. I’m a little involved everywhere in everything, gaining an understanding of what needs to be done, what can be done with just enough freedom to make it my own.
I realized today, my job is fluid, dynamic, ever changing, with each day unpredictable in a predictable framework. I love problem solving, learning and passing on what I have learned.
Last week was my first week to be on-call (every 8 week). I was nervous but after a few text messages from the house supervisor, I realized we weren’t reinventing the wheel and the information was all too familiar.
Nursing is definitely a calling. You have to have love for it to get through the hard stuff, and there’s lots of it.
