What a Godsend this post has been for me! Just what I was looking for. After a long career in Nursing i finally crashed & burned, said to hell with this, and took a few years off working altogether, then took a job as a dishwasher in a casino. But, the love of Nursing never really died, and next week I start my new job in an LTC facility around the corner. To say that I've been a little scared is an understatement! This post, and all the others I read today, brought my fears to a realistic level, bolstered my strength and sharpened my wit. You didn't scare me away, you made me eager to roll up my sleeves and dig in again. I miss, more than anything, laughing with my 'sisters and brothers'. I miss that graveyard humor, cleaning up the most awful messes then wolfing down bad pizza in the lunchroom while talking shop. I miss the compassion, i miss the science, I miss the mysteries. All of you have helped me feel good about my decision and all of you will keep me afloat. God bless you all.
