I am Making a change!

After several years of increasing dissatisfaction with providing bedside nursing care, I finally made the decision to do something about it. I have been a RN for over 30 yrs and provide what I consider excellent bedside care. But with all the changes in health care, I felt myself being pulled away from the patients more and more. Computers, charting, phone calls etc. I realized that if I didn't do something, I would only put my health at risk. I have been interested in Parrish Nursing for sometime. When I first looked into the job, the pay is a big drop from hospital pay. But the more thought I put into it, I decided it was a chance I had to take. I went to a week long class on the Foundations of Faith Based Community Care. My eyes where opened. I took a blind leap of faith and decided that I need to quit my hospital job, even though I didn't have another job yet. I could feel a call, I felt like it was all going to be okay. The interview went well and I start my new job soon. Is this a path I would suggest to my children to take, quitting a job with out a new job, no. But I feel that I am at a point in my life that I can do this. I am already thinking ahead of the things I need to do. The churches and pastors are very supportive. I truly feel blessed at this point in my life.
