I am ready to Jump!

I walked out the door and turned on my Ipod and glaring in my ears was "Jump" by Madonna the first line I heard, "There’s only so much you can learn in one place
The more that I wait, the more time that I waste."

Hearing these words as I walked away from the hospital for the last time was a bit empowering. It was not the worst place one could work, but it smelled of hospital death. Years of poor management and every day you went to work more and more staff had quit and more units had been closed.

Someone told me the other day, "it is sad when you come to work and discover one of your friends has left for another job and this happens pretty much every week."

This week is to be the biggest exodus from the facility as people were resigning in order to have Labor day off before starting a new job.

I am off until the 13th and there is even a slight chance I will be working by the 9th. Though I should not mention that possibility as it is a wild long shot and I have a position in the bag now.

So, for two weeks I will be jobless and making no money. Even though I could never get full time hours at the facility I just left. I was sent home after four hours on my very last day!

The one bright spot is that my last working shift was spent on my favorite unit in the hospital and my last walk home was spent listening to some good music.
