LIVEALITTLE

So, I am unemployed yet again upon my own volition. I had been looking forward to this moment since announcing 3 weeks ago but instead of relief as I walked through the automatic doors of the hospital, I felt a great burden of grief. The guilt and sadness of leaving my kind friends and ill patients behind surprisingly overwhelmed me. I had to take a moment to realize that this is another phase of what I have to cope with in this nomadic life I choose to live.
Working at Royal Darwin Hospital not only taught me to be a better nurse but to be a better person as well. I learned to be more confident in myself, to stand up for my beliefs and to take humility in stride. I was most touched when a patient care assistant, whom I did not know very well, came to bid me good-bye with a huge hug and profuse graciousness for my work. Although I have officially worked as a registered nurse for 14 months, I feel as if I am still on holidays from Goldman, still volunteering and still new in the occupation. I hope this means I have found my purpose. :)
