I woke up at 9am this morning and just could not go back to sleep, but I was enjoying the warmth and fuzziness of the blankets cocooned around me. Yesterday I had my ACLS class from 9am to 2pm, and Monday I have class as well - only Monday will be all the tests and everything that goes along with it. We have to respond to a megacode. Honestly - it may sound lame, and it's kind of heartless, but this is what I love about nursing. This is what gets my adrenaline pumping, and gets me excited. I don't love the stress of the D200 unit. I don't love the patients that I'm taking care of there - because 4 out of 5 patients shouldn't be there in the first place. But anyways, Arlene was saying that the cardiac floor is a different kind of stress, and I think I understand what she means by that. That's what makes me think, maybe the emergency department is still where I'd like to end up? Maybe not... I can't imagine doing ED inner city.. that would be crazy, I'm sure. But who knows. Maybe maternity would be my niche if I ever got the opportunity to give it a try. All I know, is at this point - med/surg is NOT my niche.
Tonight we're getting together at Margaritas in Manchester as a "going away" party thing for me. So far, I think it's just me, Amanda, Keri and hopefully Arlene. I hope more people turn out - I should have given more notice. Ah well, I'm on the home stretch. 4 days of work left at CMC. Tuesday, then Wednesday and Thursday I have off and can get some packing done, and my last 3 day stretch until we move. That next week will be heavy duty packing, and then we'll move back to Pittsburgh. Josh will start his internship that monday, and I'll have a job interview. I know God has something planned for me, something in store for me. If I don't get the maternity job, there's a reason for it, and if I end up working cardiac, there's a reason for it. It does interest me, genuinely. Perhaps that's what I'm meant to do - who knows. Goodness knows I understand more about the heart (oddly enough) than the GI tract. hahaha.
Time to go get the morning started.
Love, Sara
