My 3rd assignment is at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, part of the Stanford Medical Center in Palo Alto, CA. Let me just say, it got off to a great start! I live just 10 minutes from the hospital, way different than LA and started my hospital orientation with a great group of travel nurses, again way different than starting alone in LA. And an added bonus, two of my old Duke co-workers are also in the area! God has truly blessed me with a social life here. I know that might sound silly, but it's important to me. I've written before about how lonely LA was and I do believe that God is answering prayers here in Palo Alto. Sometimes I have too many people to hang out with and I feel bad for wanting "me" time! My orientation girls have been great at keeping me entertained, encouraged, and well fed as we try local restaurants! My Duke girls, Jess & Jenn have provided me with that piece of Southern comfort I've missed and need!
Just wanted to write a quick update on life here. Stay tuned for more posts about Napa and a possible strike at my new hospital.
