The Wait.....

I don't know if it is me....and maybe it is, but I find myself just....I don't know for lack of a better word losing interest in a lot of things work related as I wait for school to start. Not to say that I am compromising patient care at all, because I am still a great nurse (not too toot my own horn or anything), but I just am losing interest in things that would have had me a little worked up before. If I don't get the days I requested, or if someone really upsets me I am more like...you know what it doesn't even matter because in a couple of months I won't be here anymore. I don't dread work...but it is getting a little harder to get up and go in every night. Especially since the weather is getting nicer and that SPRING FEVER is kicking in. As MD's give me stupid orders and I hear people complain about trivial stuff I am almost excited to know that I have an escape that is rapidly approaching.

I know that starting school will have all kinds of stressors of it's own, but for some reason the thought of getting out of "bedside nursing" and into something new is exciting for me. How is everyone else feeling as they approach their start date in 2006, or others who have already started but remember that feeling. I start in August and have decided that I am not working in the month of July at all so I can pack and tie up some loose ends before I move etc. Is this nonchalant, for lack of a better word, feeling something you guys are experiencing also? It may be because I started at another place recently, and I am not too crazy about the facility. I am interested in hearing your responses.
