Well, I've taken the plunge back into the PICU full time! Wish me luck! I started out in the PICU as a new grad and stayed for 9 years, then it began to get to me- the "non accidental traumas", the near drowns, the half baked suicide attempts, and just the everyday saddness that we face in this specialty. So I've spent the last 3 years in the NICU and truly find it rewarding, but I have found myself really missing the PICU and it's challenges. SO........I'm jumping back in! I'm really excited to have found this forum! Seems like a great place to learn from each other or just vent to people who really understand. You might be seeing a lot of me soon:)

Let me be the first to welcome you back to my world!! I know you'll find it hard at times because the things that made you leave before have not gone away. But you might have a new appreciation for all the great things we can do now and all the advances that we've made in the 3 years you've been away. This forum is a great place to come and refresh, recharge and to learn. We're looking forward to your participation. Come on over whenever you want to.
Thanks Janfrn!! You seem to be a wealth of knowledge.... I may be calling upon you sometime soon!
You know where to find me... out in my garden. We can have lemonade and watch the butterflies and bees check out my flowers. Does the soul good.
