Work

What am I even doing... by Jaclyn Sison

I reset this blog last year in September, and here I am again, coming in late. I guess it isn’t too bad. It’s been a little under a month since my … last post? I really need to get back into writing. I remember when it used to be my outlet while I was spiraling through life. But then again, I didn’t have too much time to write anyway. After spending the past couple of years in school, I was overwhelmed by homework and lectures. It felt odd to listen to music during my breaks (when my brain would allow it). I felt like I had to be “on” at all times.

I could benefit from going back and listening to lectures, though. I did lose access to my Osmosis subscription, but whatever. At least I know I’m not the only one who isn’t working as an NP right now after graduation. I’m finally closing in on the end of my employment here as an RN, and I am almost as excited as I was when I was getting my DD214.

This clinic almost made me quit the healthcare field. I have never been surrounded by so much negativity, laziness, and foolishness before- and I’ve been in the military, serving alongside 18-year-olds. Luckily, the floor nurses made it bearable. They are the ones who really kept me sane and helped me get through it all. I’m sad I’ll be leaving them. I wish I could bring most of them with me. But it’s time to grow up and be a big girl provider… I guess.
