I just applied for the temporary registration with my college. The local health authority is looking for people to work the new covid-19 hotline. This is great. I get to be a nurse again (albeit for 90 days only) and I get to go to work in my jammies. Who can beat that.
I am feeling a little anxious, though. I always get like this (well, since everything happened) whenever faced with anything new. I always feel like I am going to completely screw it up. This is a fairly new feeling for me. Before all this, even when I didn’t know what I was doing, I was always fairly confident that I could learn. Now, not so much. It’s a shame that I’ve lost that confidence.
I will also have to watch myself, lol. Being an ex ER nurse, the temptation will be to downplay everything. I’m not telling anyone to go to the ER unless there’s a bone sticking out. Being short of breath is NOT the same thing as feeling stuffy. That sort of thing. I’m sure some of you can relate.
