First week........

So I've completed my first week of my new job. The first day was very disorientating (bearing in mind that it came straight after 2 days of farewells) but very quickly I have begun to find my feet. This has been helped enormously by the great welcome I have received. Everyone has been kind, and interested, and helpful. At the moment I'm doing something different every day, from basic hands on nursing care, to developing caseload audit tools, advising on strategy, learning new skills, signing up for a masters etc etc.

And I feel like a huge weight has gone from my shoulders, I feel relaxed and more confident and motivated and...... I'm slightly surprised - I knew that my old job was getting to me but this much? I have already had contact from them about one of the situations that was stressing me (48 hours after I left!) and it didn't get to me - I dealt with it and shrugged it off.

Now I'm aware its early days, a honeymoon almost, but I am very grateful, and hopeful - here's to a happy job :)
