Moving on... moving up.... turning over a new leaf....

One week and a half ago I worked my last shift on my old medicine unit. The only unit I had worked on since graduating. The unit which made me cry, laugh, question my decision to go into nursing, and confirmed why I went into nursing.... all at once. (gads that sounds cheesy... :)

Today I started the 20 week orientation to the ICU. Although I have already completed most of the critical care certificate program through a local college, they still want me to go through their full orientation (aka their version of the critical care course). At worst, it will be 20 long weeks full of stuff I have already learned. At best, it will be a good review of what I have already learned while getting paid to do it.

I have been very bad at keeping up with the blog lately, and have probably missed telling some interesting stories. Maybe as I remember them I will post them. Maybe I will just let them slide by.... we'll see.

Maybe it is time to come up with a new name and description.....
