Light at the End of theTunnel!!!!
I'm so happy to say that I'm very close to the light I've been working for all these years. I have started my consolidation at university; it's the final practicum before graduating. I was lucky to get the spot I asked for which is at the Heart Institute. My 1st shift was last 12h night. It started so intense with a patient who was going downhill with shortness of breath, he was turning blue in front of us. As multidisciplinary team (cardiologist, RTs, nurse coordinator etc.) was growing by the side of the bed, I was just so involved with the activities around me,watching every single move of everybody, especially my nurse, who was great. I was also thinking, "how would I be able to intervene?" A few more things I started thinking as my night shift was ticking into the early morning, making it harder and harder to stay up. I was thinking, "how nice to have a regular hours job", then "how crazy that a nurse has 7 patients at night", then "will I be able to manage to work here?" So many questions I still have unanswered. I know that this rotation as all the other ones will bring me new knowledge and experience. My main resolution this year is to find a good job or even to just realize where will I be heading in my career? I realize that it might take a while to find MY job, but I know it's out there waiting for me!!!
