So, I started working as a nursing on October 28, 2013. I got a job working as a med surg nurse at the University of Arizona Medical Center - South Campus (aka KINO). I worked there from October 2013 - February 2014. I realized Med Surg was not for me. I was not spending enough time with patients and I didn't feel like I was doing enough for them. It also pissed me off that I had to get orders for a cough drop or something like that. I worked with some amazing people and although it was a short time, I learned a lot. I had a preceptor named Keith who had been a nurse for a about a year and I was his first preceptee. He did a great job training me.
So I left the hospital and found a job working for a small home health agency called SunLife Home Health. I haven't been out in the field yet. That starts in 2 days. I am a little nervous because I feel like I am being rushed a little bit through training. I hope I do ok with this company. I really want to work for home health or hospice.
I really hope this works out. I want to get my experience in before I move back to NJ.
