I was a nurse for many years in oncology and people would often ask me how I could stand to be in a profession that dealt with so much sadness and pain. I said not everyone is cut out to do this job. I feel if I had to be fighting for my life or losing the battle with cancer I would want my caregiver to be kind, loving, emotional and in this with me. So it does take a lot to deal with health care issues. The most important thing is that you knew this was not the right place for you. Something else will come into your path and you will know it is the right place. At least this opened the door for you to feel like you could enter back into the work force. Now it is just finding the right opportunity.<br />Hugs,<br />KrisJunkchiccottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13312068546640480844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-48638751291154033812016-09-06T15:42:10.448-04:002016-09-06T15:42:10.448-04:00We do reach a certain time in our lives where we k...We do reach a certain time in our lives where we know what we can do or want to do.

I had a 35 year career in health care and while there were struggles there were also blessings. I think people are either cut out for that kind of work or not. If you would be uncomfortable it is best not to be in the situation.

You responded rather than reacted. Your choice to keep the peace in your heart and life is commendable. <br /><br />And what a beautiful verse the Lord gave you to meditate on! That is one of my favorites!<br /><br />You are inspiring me to listen to my heart and be attentive to what I let into my life.

When Dave was in treatment, it was not lost on me the hardness and lack of compassion most medical folks have. They have to or they'd fall apart daily. Let's face it: sick and dying people will always be with us and, sometimes, are us. I've told so many people, "Do NOT go to the hospital, maybe even the doctor's alone; always take someone with you." The things the doc wanted to do to Dave were unbelievable and he would have, had I not told him, "I've got Power of Attorney; you do "this" and I will own your grandchildren." Dealing with medicos brought out the Mean Mama Bear in me and I would have seriously hurt someone who hurt Dave.

It is how I structure my working at home and it works well as you get into a routine. <br /> The beaded flower piece in the post below is such a beautiful composition.<br /> I'm hoping you are not in the path of the storm that is heading for Fla.?.<br /> jerilandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418564262425621746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-85502032359209805632016-09-01T18:46:29.138-04:002016-09-01T18:46:29.138-04:00Your own heart told you what would be the right de...Your own heart told you what would be the right decision, well done to phone and let them know, A relief, and if you now have any doubts, think of what one day would involve, and you'll be so sure.
