I'll fly away.

I have been thinking things over in my head all weekend, about the job

Shock and Awe

[shychick72]

I read this entry and I was surprised by your decision. All I have to go on is what you put in this journal. From your previous entries it sounded like you had good genuine reasons for leaving that department. I just don't want to see you punish yourself by staying at a job that makes you miserable. Maybe those previous entries were just you needing to vent and it's really not that bad. But I also know what it's like to talk yourself out of leaving a position. How it's possible to convince yourself that you're just making a mountain out of a molehill. Maybe I'm wrong and your situation is completely different. I'm not saying you should quit your job or stay there; I'm just saying based on your previous entries your decision is really surprising. But, that's just my two cents.

There is a lot of crap going on. I cannot lie. There is a mountain of politics and leadership who cannot lead.

But, I have my coworkers. And they do make it better. There are people here working with me, and when I thought about leaving, I thought about what it would be like to leave them behind. With them, I can get through this. It's frustrating, no doubt, but it's also where I am comfortable.

They sterilize instruments and put together trays for the OR. The assistant job would be mainly stocking and picking up dirty instruments.

Nothing too different from what I do, just different procedures to learn.

I decided to stay because in the end, I suppose this is my place. I have coworkers that will work with me. I have support. I guess I just needed to know that I do have the option to leave.
