So two more weeks left of working at Chez Recovery, and I am ready to move on to bigger and better things. The funny thing is, after all the complaining I’ve been doing, the job is really starting to grow on me. I think this has something to do with the law of leaving a job – the closer you get to the end, the more you start to like it. I think it also has to do with the great group of nurses that I met there, and have really enjoyed getting to know.
Anyhow, I think my complaints can all be boiled down to 3 neat little concepts:
- 40 hours a week is too many hours to work as a nurse. 20-24 would be more like it.
- I would like the job a lot more if I had some added responsibilities like say, training as a charge nurse. Since I’m leaving in two weeks, this most likely will not happen.
- I am not sure I still have a passion for nursing.
I’ve been toying with the idea of picking up where I left off with web design, and thinking about doing some freelancing. I’d like to start setting up sites for businesses using WordPress, and help these businesses to get more traffic by adding blogs, as well as other types of Web 2.0 apps to their sites. If you own a business and think you might be interested in this sort of thing drop me a line (Beth-AT-pixelRN-DOT-com) and we can discuss some ideas.
AND on another exciting note I am planning on relaunching OrientedX3, but in a in a much different form. More news to follow in the weeks to come.
And then there’s this guy. I’m looking forward to spending a lot more time with him. He just celebrated his first birthday and has the cake on his face to prove it:
