No more full-time at Rex

No more full-time at Rex. Kind of funny actually how I got rid of 3 shifts without knowing it coming into work. Management had put out an email about giving up shifts for PDO or time-off without pay. I have so much vacation time that it just fit for me to put in to have the rest of this week and all of next week off. It was approved and before I knew it, today was my last full-time shift at Rex.

All in all it was a good day. Linda was there as a team lead and staff worked well together. Its kind of sad. It feels good to know that the people you do care about are sad to see you go and that they say it out loud. Staff, physicians, house supervisors, its all good. But not my own management team in my own department.

Thats the biggest reason why I am leaving. Linda has been my Team Leader since I started at Rex. For the last 6 years she has moulded me into growing and advancing my career within Rex. She has done everything possible in order to provide me the opportunity for advancement. Beyond that it was out of her hands, and into the hands of the same team that wants me out.

Going to Wake is opening a new door. And when you find out that an old Director from Rex is 'excited that you are coming to Wake' even before I start....makes out for a great new beginning!


Shae lives not too far from me and is our EMS liason. She is my hero in the world of nursing. I guess I always tell her if I was ever brought in on a call and needed immediate attention, she would be the one I would want to see.
Dr. Green and I are UNC buddies. Again, more than actually are sad to see me go. But we will keep in touch and I am still waiting on that boat ride.

Juan's last day was my unofficial last full-time day. I got a quick pic at the change of shift. He is on facebook so hopefully we will keep in touch. He worked nights and I work days so we didn't work together alot but seeing him in passing and interacting with him for a total of about an hour a shift, it was always nice. I hate to see him go.
Renee, is the new Team Lead over the Intake Specialists. I wish her well.

I think this says it all.
We were obviously waiting on something. I took this, at this point, not knowing that today would be my last full-time day!
