As most of you know, I've started a new job within the NHS. Well, the first week has been an eye opener for sure!
I have come to the conclusion that I have the best job in the world!

Being from america, I was assuming I would be little more than a glorified poop checker at first.
That is not the case, I'm happy to report!

What I'm doing, is very much nursing. I am finding myself doing what usually ONLY rn's do in the states.
I'm on a respiratory ward, which means i even get to do a little resp. therapy!

So to make a long story short, I am going from being a resp. therapist, to being a resp. nurse! How cool is that?

I've finally found my place in England! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY!

How does it compare with america?

It's a step up for me. More is required of me here. As far as hospitals in general, yours are just as good. They do the same things, have the same sort of problems, but they are just as good. I'm very pleased with what I've found so far. The only gripe I have is the uniforms.

I'm so pleased that you are settling in, and what's more enjoying it!
Well done hon, we could do with more dedication within the NHS X

That's great news. The NHS needs more like you!

It is great to hear that someone could make that kind of a major move and it worked out well.
Good luck
