what a first day :)

1 minute read time.

Well i am shattered but i feel so good ,i knew this job had been given to me for a reason, it just feels so right, like its meant to be,

I started on surgical ward today ,apparantly one of the hardest wards ,but i dont dont care i love hard work,  most of patients are post mastectomy, reconstruction ect, lots having chemo and radiotherapy , and i loved it, they were all quite happy to let me do their obs ect and care even though im not actually allowed till ive completed next 2 weeks

I think for someone whos been through what i have it could have been very difficult emotionally , but it wasnt i felt such empathy and do you know what ,just to make those such poorly patients smile ,just made me feel so good , it feels so right and i cant wait for my next shift which is on medical ward ,i also got some great feedback form other staff too which was nice ,

Most of all i feel like my confidence is back , im me again and i know ju would be so proud of me ,he wanted me to be happy again, and im def getting their .

  I know all shifts wont be like that but just to see those smiling faces well its all worthwhile,  and do you know what a smile and a bit of tlc is all most patients wish for in hospital , and i will always strive to do that ,

love and hugs to all xxxx

    hi Jenni

    I am so glad for you that you found it such a rewarding experiance and that you could give such a lot back to the patients was great. Just the feeling that someone cares is what so many need.

    I just hope one day I can step back onto the wards and be as possitive.

    you are a star, T

    Hi Jenni Well Done I am so happy for you!

    I admire you greatly you have come a long way since you lost your darling Ju.

    I couldn't go back to the wards after I lost Richard so I retired from my job.

    I am a lot older than you but I think you have just taught me something valuable. Also Graemes reply made me think too.

    After 5 years I need to get my act together and do something useful.

    I need to stop wallowing in self pity.

    I am to have counselling in 2 weeks so hopefully after that I will know what I want to do.

    Good Luck Jenni I hope that you will love your knew job always.

    Lots of Love Julie XX
