Time is winding down

Well, I am an oncology nurse who has worked on the Med-surg-Onc floor for 3 years now and I am moving to the home health division. I am scared to death (but change makes most of us nervous). I keep looking around and thinking, "here I have the support", "here I have people to talk to about trip, vacations, sick family members" and I wonder if I am making the right decision.

I have even had some of the best days that I have had in a long time. But then, this weekend I had the usual "run over yourself and don't go pee" days.

I know this is the right decision (for many reasons), I guess I was just wondering if anyone else went thru this?

Hi there, You seem to be having a concern with your own growth potential. Growth and change is good. As an Oncolgy nurse you know that growth means living. So learn to bend a bit in your new environment and limit the amount of stress you absorb.

Thanks Ellie. I guess that is it. I know change is good, and I need this change for many reasons. Whew...but good to know I'm not the only one :uhoh3:
