Tomorrow I begin orientation at a new facility where I will begin training for a dual position on the hospice and palliative care teams of a local visiting nurse agency. It is run under the auspices of a local hospital that is part of a larger regional medical system from a neighboring state. Bureaucracy may be an issue, but that remains to be seen.
I feel very slight trepidation as I embark into another unknown, being the new kid once again, feeling stupid and ignorant. New computer system, new documentation, new ways of working. It's a stretch, but a good stretch, and I think I'm ready. Anyway, tomorrow's the day, so I have to dive in.
