Dancing Before the LORD- I love to see young people honoring GOD

Where I am- Who am I? Where am I going?

Well I have resigned from my job. I do not like 12 hr plus shifts. i really do believe pt care suffers. First of all some shifts there is no one one that know the pts. When it is a difficult shift it is nearly impossible to keep delivering quality care, keep the compassion that is needed and continue to deal with difficult situations and people. Included in this is the admissions ans every 15 minute checks for pt safety.I think even doing routine work becomes difficult over 10 hrs at a time. I really tried to fit in on the unit but according to my nurse manager I am unable to. I have 3 more shifts to go. Today I took a "work keys" test. It was in 5 parts and took about 5 hrs. The tests are times. I was unable to complete applied mathematics exam I had 10 questions remaining at 45 min. It had 33 questions. I felt like I was in high school again. I believe I did well on the reading and information gathering exams and team work exams. I took these tests in order to apply to one company. I need to redo my resume. I had not interviewed for almost 17 years. I am trying to look at this period in my life to do thing I have never done. But still this is difficult for me. I had planned to retire from the institution where I had worked for 17 years, Still I am hoping to find employment where I can work 8 hrs no more than 19 hr a shift, have more support, and feel good about the work I am doing.Update I passes the work keys exam with flying colors!
