This month marks 7 years in the books for me, working as an infusion nurse.
When I started this job, I had no idea what was entail.
It was a very new treatment & very few even knew what it was, let alone why or where you would receive it. In fact, we are the first clinic in the state, to provide this treatment. So, I didn't know if I would have a job for 1 day,
2 weeks or what...but I took a chance. I went with my gut, in never passing up an opportunity.
7 years later, I am a better person because of it.
I have treated over 700 ppl with ketamine, started more IVs than I can count & I have learned so much more than I ever expected.
I've grown as a human incredibly since the day I walked in that door. From a person who was unsure of herself, insecure in many ways. I was unaware of a lot in my life that needed to change, in dramatic ways. I was strong but also so weak & God knew that I needed this job for so much more than income.
I am grateful for the bonds I've made with my patients, for having the opportunity to save lives.
To learn from my patients, who help me almost as much as I help them some days. And for the Dr who teaches me to be better every day that I work by her side. I have no doubt this job was given to me as a gift & It saved me just as much as I have helped saved others.
