Re: rough time
I didn't get to Bunnings - didn't have time between DBT and appointment @outlander.
The appointment went ok - we basically just went through my diary card and then chatted a bit about what is happening with work. She talked to me about how flat I had seemed to be lately and then we discussed why that was. It was a good catch-up more than anything and knowing there is someone there if I need that support while everyone else is away.

Re: rough time
I've just completed my medication competency @outlander
Did this online. Took quite a while. Still have to do blood transfusions as well, then just the two practical competencies next week. There's lots of competencies to maintain as a nurse.

Re: rough time
Not at all lil Sis. @outlander
I have to say though that I'm really scared about going back to work. Scared that so much has changed, yet also not enough has changed. I hope that makes sense

Re: rough time
Yes sis that makes sense @Sans911
Entering or re-entering any workforce is scary and makes it even scarier when things arent smooth sailing or youve a history of things not being so great.
The agency that you worked with before , is that who your hoping to work through again? Would that make it slightly easier knowing there could be some familiar faces?
I know home care nursing is very different from working in the high dependency units is that change something thats scary? Perhaps as its out of your comfort zone abit too

Re: rough time
Yes, I'm going with the same agency @outlander
And they've been relatively supportive and helpful. I've done nothing wrong, so they can't sack me.
I know many of the office staff, but when I go to work in someone's home, it'll just be me. I won't have other nurses. That bit suits me just fine as I like working on my own.
I know I'll miss the intense pace and hum of those busy areas. I may find home nursing too boring. I've worked in elderly care before, and apart from the busyness of looking after way too many residents with constant needs, it wasn't terribly exciting.
My GP won't let me back to emergency, high dependency or ICU yet, but some part of me wants to be there to see if I still 'have' it. Yet, if one thing goes wrong, it could be detrimental to my mental health.
I still don't really know where I want to go to next, and that's hard too.
