Moving forward

I try not to look at it as leaving or moving on but moving forward in my quest for financial freedom. Though I love nursing ,it is merely a vessel to get me to my ultimate destination of financial freedom.
I have enjoyed my stay here in Bakersfield(did I really say that?) I have met some wonderful people. The small hospital feel makes me remember my first hospital where you knew everyone not just the other nurses but the housekeepers and the dietary people , the transporters and the pharmacists by name. It's been nice. The staff has been very welcoming to all the travelers. I would like to thank Heather, Micky, Kat,Hazel,Hee Seon, Jaime, Pat,Tracy,Sherri,Lisa,Karen and Maggy for helping me through this assignment. I loved working with the travelers Stephanie,Tanya, Tania. And I always love working with new nurses and showing them that nursing is fun too...Susanna and Dora. I appreciate the night shift for always making it a nice place to come into in the morning. I also want to thank Sharon and Mary for being understanding and helpful with my schedule. I have also met some other great people like Maria,Jon,Mike and Freddie. I hope all of their jobs get easier.
The new place I am going is a bit bigger 250 beds in San Pablo California. We are hoping the weather will be nice for the upcoming summer. Plus it's very close to San Francisco so our friends and family can visit.
One of the harder part of this traveling thing is trying to get the timing right for the assignments. I particularly do not like to work for Christmas or New Years so I have to count the weeks and decide what length of assignment to take next. So, I either need to stay at this next assignment for a few extra weeks or take a shorter assignment next. We will have to see.
