Out of the blogging loop

Wow! I've been out of the blogging loop for some time now...since I started my new J-O-B in April. Work has really been working me. I admire those who still have the energy to blog after work because I know I don't have any energy when I come home. I have today off since I worked this pass wknd so I thought I pay a visit to the blogging world. I've been learning lots on the job and my caseload has been getting "bigger." Bigger in number and size wise of patients. It's been hard on me physically despite using proper body mechanics. Please ppl, eat healthy!! I've been on the Skilled Nursing Facility unit of the hospital since I've started and occasionally on the ortho floor. SNF is what I've been trying to steer clear of and I guess it's the universe's way of saying hey, you need to deal with what you don't want to deal with. Face it head on and come through it with a clearer picture. Although the SNF unit has been challenging, it's been also very rewarding. The most challenging part has been hearing patients say that they're tired of all of this and just want to die. The challenge is not in redirecting them but for me not to take on their "stuff." Well, that's all for now and I hope I get to visit back soon. I miss having time and energy to read other's blogs. Until next time...
