I’m so tired of this

by

Hmmm I think I’m going to give up on waiting for my husband to come home. He’s been away all weekend and as far as I know -at least according to his call at 1 pm he was going to be home sometime this afternoon. However, here it is already 7 pm and I haven’t heard from him in 6 hours so I think it’s safe to say that I might as well eat alone.

Something I do most weekends lately. I’m getting tired of this.

I wouldn’t even be surprised if he calls in a little while and says he’s too tired to come home or that his parents want him to do something for them so he’s staying overnight. He’s done that many times. I’m really not happy living like this anymore and I can’t wait for this to be over. We’re sort of living separate lives – we just need to officially make it official. In the meantime I need to get back to work and start pushing around both computer carts and medication carts. I need to earn money and keep busy .. get my life back.

I feel like I’m in school again

by



I feel like I’ve gone back to school. I’m preparing to go back to work as a nurse and since I’ve been on medical leave for six years I decided that it would be a good idea if pulled out my old medical books and just refreshed myself on the basics.


I know everything is still in my head and naturally all that I know is not in my books because I’ve learned quite a bit from my experiences as well. However every little bit helps.

I know that a lot of medications have changed and or new medications are being used just in the six years that I’ve been off work so that’s another thing that I’m trying to brush up on as well. When I had my meeting in the hospitals Human Resources department last week they did suggest to me that I take a look at the new medications for Diabetes, Hypertension, things like the side effects of hexaghen and so on.

I just wish I knew what area of the hospital I’m going to be placed in. I guess it all depends on where there’s an opening. My old job in the ER is not available at this time but I’ll be trying to get back there once I get back in the hospital I’m sure.

Time to relax

by

I’m trying to relax this weekend. This past week was fairly busy. I’ve been working to get my house in order – cleaning and sorting things out, getting taxes done and on top of that I’ve also been busy trying to get my old job back. I had appointments with my family doctor and the Occupational health doctor at my workplace this past week and it looks like in a couple of weeks I may very well be working in the Emergency Ward again. Yeah!

I also saw an old friend for a little while this week too. Man his place was a mess! I guess he’s become a bit of weight lifter or something in his spare time. There was exercise equipment in one corner, magazines and xenadrine ripped reviews. He looked good though so I guess it’s working for him. He has the absolute cutest little dog. I have to get my dog and his dog to meet. I’m sure they’ll get along famously!

Ok … as I said … time to relax, that’s what the weekend is for after all isn’t it? And if I’m going to be going back to work again sometime soon I’m not going to have that many weekends left anymore because I’ll be working at least every second weekend.

New nurses uniforms

by

I’ve been on medical leave from my job as nurse in the emergency department of a nearby hospital for a few years and I’m hoping to go back to work sometime in the near future. I say hoping – hopefully. I don’t know if I’m really able to go back just yet, but I’d like to and well frankly I may have to … so with that in mind I’ve been doing things like trying to see if I really am ready to get back to work and two browsing around for nursing uniforms etc.

While I was looking around online I came across some uniforms that I kind of like at Marcus nurses uniforms. Certainly if I do start back to work I’ll need some new uniforms so I’m sure I’ll buy a few new uniforms.

Have you ever had to take a medical leave from work for a long period of time and then had trouble getting back to work again? That seems to be what I’m going through. I’m still sick, but I think it would be a good think if I could go back to work … however working in the emergency department might be too much for me, I might just have to face up to that.
