I'm OUTTA heeeeeeeeeeeeere....

[NICU_Nurse]

Or "theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere", I should say.

YAY! I just came home from my last shift at the pit of hell and I am completely hyperactive this morning. I'm SO excited about my new job, and cannot WAIT to learn new things and meet all of my new co-workers. As some of you already know, I was extremely unhappy at my "old" (Ha! It sounds funny, saying that...) job, and was very dissatisfied with the management and some of the (okay, MANY of the) practices that they did.

I'm going to miss my teammates- what wonderful people!

However, I have to say: Will someone please explain to me why other people have to fling negativity at you when you are happy? I had no less than TWO people today act horribly towards me, or tell me some nasty comment to imply that I'm not good enough to move to this new hospital, and because I am a nice person I didn't say a word, but just smiled at them and walked away. On the drive home, though, I was just TICKED! I hate emotional vampires. Ever have that happen? Sorry, just had to vent a little.

So, thank you all for your advice, and I'll let everyone know how it goes. I start tomorrow! Yippee!!!

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT! I LOVELOVELOVELOVE IT HERE!!!!!

I cannot, absolutely cannot stress that enough! I am in love with this place. I haven't even begun my unit orientation yet- I'm still in general orientation, but I KNOW that I'm going to love it.

I cannot explain to you how drastically different this place is from my old facility. I mean, honestly. I would sound like a moron. It is the complete and utter opposite of every thing I ever had to complain about or not like about my old facility. It's as simple as that.

I feel pampered and valued and appreciated, and I've barely begun. The feedback and atmosphere is so positive that I can barely contain myself. I want to kiss the people I've met, kiss the floor, kiss the door handles. This place is so progressive compared to my old job, and they have such higher standards for patient care and employee satisfaction, and I already knew that coming in (like I said, I'd interviewed EVERYONE I've ever met about this place before I even applied here), but it's so DIFFERENT actually being able to say that I WORK here!

I'm giddy! If I could swoon over a job, I'd be SWOONING right now. Somebody catch me...(knees buckling)

I have met a bunch of very sweet nurses and in two days I feel like I did in nursing school- very protective and sister-like, and it's just so amazing to be surrounded by people who are as enthusiastic as you are, you know? I don't know, I probably sound like an idiot, but I don't CARE!!!! I grin all the way home.

Plus, and this just goes to prove that it's a terribly small world we live in...The very moment I walked into the room, I ran into someone I used to date in the EIGHTH GRADE!!! In high school, I set him up with a friend of mine, and then after graduation, I never heard from either of them, and then I walk in and there he is. They've been married for almost eight years! I could have died. I dug up some old pictures of us looking young and petulant, and we had a good laugh over it today, and I just sent an email to his wife (she's in the Army now), and I'm just happy, happy, happy. I've had a great week so far.

That smile isn't big enough. I'll stop now! LOL! I know, I know. I can't HELP IT!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I just had to get that out.

Good for you kristi for using your FEET to say "THIS nurse has had ENOUGH!!!" Thumbs up to you girlfriend! :kiss

People can be particularly cruel when one person has the courage to "JUST SAY NO! Women in particular! Chalk it up to jealousy/envy because deep inside of them they are whispering to themselves "I admire her for being courageous enough to stand up for what she believes in and follow through with it by not taking the crap being dished out. Gee....wish I had her guts." (and so forth)

I admire you for "moving on" and wish you more than joy on your new job! Just remember, you walked once, you can walk again if the BS gets to be more than you as a nurse should put up with!

Now, go celebrate your newfound joy! :balloons:

Perfectly said, and I agree totally.

Congrats on your new job, Kristi! I' happy for ya!

Congratulations Kristi. I'm glad you love your new job. It's nice to go to work and actually be happy, isn't it? PM me about your new hospital. I may run into you.

[MomNRN, BSN, RN]

Good for you!

Doesn't it feel good to be appreciated and enjoy a job? I too left a bummer job for a better job! What a great feeling!

Enjoy - you deserve it!

[jnette, ASN, EMT-I]

It's so very, very good to see someone really HAPPY and "wired" about where they work. I know it's going to take you weeks and months to absorb it all, and we want you to savor every precious moment of it ! We'll let you stay on that cloud as long as you like.. hey, it's better ONE of us than NONE of us, right?

Just be sure to fill us in on a regular basis so we may learn and grow with you and partake in your joy ! So , you up there ! Here we are, just cheering you on and celebrating WITH you !!!!
