:yes: Hello folks.

Just was hired at the local health department, my role will be the immunization nurse. I am thrilled and look forward to weekends and holidays with my family. I been working in Psych/med unit in the hospital so this will be so different.

Any advice is welcome, sure I will be posting as questions come up. There is a long probation period a year, I assume this is the norm?

Pay is less, however the commute is so much closer. I praise Jesus for this job I believe I will bloom in the position. So much to learn.

Keep looking up. :yes:

Happy New Year, things are going well. I have a ton to learn, there is stress but it is so different than the hospital. Thanks for all the replys and encouragement.

Keep looking up.

Can I add that I am just incredibly jealous of you all with your health dept jobs?

Happy new year to you too! Yes, a lot to learn! I still love it and I'm on my own about 25% of the time now. Each situation is so unique that comes in so you are always seeing something new.
