Hi All,
Well it's been awhile since I tended to my blog, I've been busy living life. Well a lot has happened since my last entry. After serious soul searching and weighing my options out, I decided to leave my job after 16 years. It was time and I needed to leave on good graces. I did not want to become one of those employee's who complained about any and everything, my job was simply to either make a change or go along with what was going on or stay hush to things and situations that happened around me, At what price do you pay with your health and well being, it's not worth it. Even though I was comfortable and had the idea work schedule but at what price was I paying for these perks.. well simple I was praying for it dearly, I was starting not liking who I was becoming, I had resentment towards co-workers and had anxiety, couldn't sleep because I did not know what to expect anymore as I clocked it was a lot and even though I never short changed a patient nor family member I just knew it was not 100% Schquita.
Through my Job searches, I was willing to take anything just to be out of there and that was not the answer either . I had to pick something that made me enjoy what I did, which is patient care. I has already been doing hours and clinicals to get into HOAG hospital , which I love it there but I wanted to be near home, So I still got a good choice which is working in a general surgery department for a Doctor who specializes in Breast Cancer and high risk patients.
She keep me on my toes which as everyone who know me, knows I like to be challenged. No gonna lie the first couple weeks on my own were scary I'm no quitter, Quita is not a quitter, but there were times I wanted to come home and plop in Joe's arms and say I can't do this. but I didn't. Happy to say I've earned the respect of my doctor and my Co-workers and my deepest joy , is when a patient is on their way to being cancer free. sometimes there are no words they can say but you know. I have a saying when I first meet a patient , I let them know through this process, I will be their advocate and their best friend and we'll get through this together.
So folks never settle and never let the odds define your place.
xoxo
Quita
