Many Changes

So many changes have happened since I last blogged. On September 2nd I started my new job as a Hospice RN Case Manager. Basically, I am responsible for a group of patients in nursing homes, assisted livings, and private homes within the community. This is end-of-life care and requires lots of travelling. I don't mind the travelling, as there is mileage reimbursement, and it is something so different than what I was doing before. I really enjoy getting to spend more one-on-one time with patients, work with an interdisciplinary time, and have more autonomy within the practice. This is really what I have been hoping to do since I graduated nursing school.

I will be orienting with more experienced nurses' over the next few weeks. So far, I am really enjoying my orientation process. There is a lot of new paperwork, policies, and procedures that I am learning about. I even did a few assessments myself this week.

In other news, Tom & I will be celebrating our one year anniversary on Sunday! I can't believe we have been married that long already! I think we are going to have a low-key day, which will hopefully include cake & ice cream (LOL!) I am so proud to call Tom, my husband and I look forward to seeing what the future will bring for us. I am hoping for at least 70 more anniversaries :OP.

Until next time...
