Oh yeah, about that new job...

Just to update, since it's been a whole year since I last posted. I was fired from the job I wrote of this time last year when my supervisor found out I had a chronic illness (ie the reason she gave was absenteeism). I am no longer working and have become completely disabled due to ongoing pain issues. I wish so much I could return to the job I've always loved and which God has gifted me to do, caring for critically-ill kids! Unfortunately I've struggled to keep part-time jobs working simply as a secretary. I still have a current nursing license and hope one day to return to nursing, but for now I am left to simply wait upon the Lord. I am thankful for so much He's given me, including my life (pain and all), this beautiful morning, my family and friends, etc. I would be homeless on the streets if it weren't for my family, so really I have a great deal to be thankful for.

ER & other medical blogs

My brother sent me the link to this blog coz he knew I've always been interested in emergency/critical care. While the language is a bit more robust than I'm comfortable with, it's fascinating reading. I've always enjoyed the non-fiction books written by paramedics and ER nurses telling of true-life experiences; this is like getting a daily dose! It's also given me an increased desire to write of my own experiences as a pediatric ICU nurse. We'll see what happens...
