Last day at work...and I feel great!!!

Anyone else ever feel this way or am I just the oddball in this bunch?
I'd been in the market to change jobs for the past year. The right time finally came for me to find me another job and so I was offered a postion elsewhere last month (if you want to know details on why, check out my posts on 'cast scheduling' and 'staff turnover rates' to get an idea). I handed in my two week notice two Fridays ago and I've been doing my own little countdown ever since. Today was my last day at work and I've been on a buzz all day, from the moment I woke up until now. The last time I felt this good was my first day at work, no joke. There's something so liberating about your last day at work, especially a place where you've been wanting to get out and having something new waiting for you to start. Nothing and nobody was able to change my mood today, heck, I'll probably stay this way until next week when I finish hospital orientation (my first day at the new place is the tues after Labor Day).
I just needed to tell/gloat/boast to everyone,that's the sole purpose of this post!! :hatparty:

Movin' on!!

Shrl.....congrats on your move!!!
Change can be a good thing you know!!!!
I'm sure most of us have looked at that greener grass on the other side of the fence, some have made the jump, others (like me) have not.
I'm not sure that it really does not matter if the grass IS greener or not, just the fact that you jumped is important.
As far as gloating....go right ahead!!! You deserve it!!!
I'm looking at another 5 or 6 years minimum before I can consider retirement, and currently am not interested in a move, but hey, never say never!!
Many nurses I know (me included) have another job, often nothing to do with medicine, (might be a thread idea) so a little change once in a while is good, as you have noted!!
Good Luck!! Mike

Congratulations! I've done a lot of job changes in my life and there's nothing like the sheer joy of the very last day. It's so wonderful to think to yourself all day. "This is it. I never have to come back to this place again" .

Thank you to all who posted encouragement and well wishes on my new job. I started orientation last week and will be on O.R orientation for at least the next couple of weeks. Right now it's tough because the one thing they do the most here is probably the one thing I did the least at the old job...ortho. At the old place I did ortho like once every 4-6 mos, more like 6 ms. It's also jarring in that I'm so used to the routine that I've been in for the past 3 yrs and now I have to change all that. On top of that this new place as computerized charting (MEDI-TECH), and I'm finding that the charting is taking up a good chunk of time. The people here are nice and management seems fair. Even though I'm finding little 'things' about the new place, they still don't compare to the environment at the old job.
