A Great Decision

So far I am enjoying my decision to focus on Cardiac. I think I picked the best time to make this switch because all of my colleagues are having to garb up in isolation gear to care for the multiple cases of H1N1 in our unit. Since I have switched to Cardiac, I have had the opportunity to care for some very sick kids. I am challenged every time I come to work and I actually feel excited when I come in for my shift. I think this was the best decision for myself. It is nice because I feel like the charge nurses have really supported my decision to focus on cardiac because they have been giving me challenging assignments that I would expect a more experienced nurse to get, not me! They obviously have confidence in my abilities and that is what I am trying to remind myself when things get tough.
