In my glory

I have returned to the bedside from which I came. I am enjoying it!!! Am I losing it. I keep hearing about how awful it is out there and that all the good nurses are leaving the bedside. I left for 7 years and yes, the floor is more acute, there is less staff, and the pay difference from when I left in 1995 to when I returned in 2002 is so miniscule as not to even mention--but I am able to have patient contact.

As an instructor, I only had patient care through my students. Now I am able to give the kind of care I want to. How long will this euphoria last???? (kind of like new grad with honeymoonitis)

I cannot say--but I am enjoying it for the moment. Of course I have my teaching to fall back on--but for now I am among the "nurses" and doing the nursing that I went into the field for in the first place so many years ago.

:D

I am so glad you are able to bask in your glory.

Enjoy it, live it and love it!

I hope you don't come down from your high.

Congratulations and welcome back to the bedside! :) I know you'll be missed in education - it takes the "just so" kind of person to make learning a memorable experience (and not the "you shoulda seen that beatch instructor I had" kind of memorable ;))

You aren't losing it - we love nursing or we wouldn't be in it. I'm glad you're all a-flutter with the newness of it! Keep up the great attitude.

Oh, don't lose it! Your attitude will become infectious and soon all will remember why they became nurses....the patients!

Welcome back...I hope you are fulfilled andhappy. WE sure NEED YOU!
