Another New Beginning

Today marks another new chapter for me.

Today starts orientation at another hospital for a new Travel Nurse contract.

That means new everything. Once again being the ‘new kid.’ Learning where everything is. Attempting to not get lost in the hospital.

New management

New equipment

New patient population

New coworkers

New policies

New scrubs 😄 (never a bad thing 🥰)

Today will be the start of my first travel assignment that I will be home daily. I cannot tell you how happy that makes my heart!! After the last two assignments being 3 hours away and before that being multiple STATES away!! I could not be more grateful for my one hour drive

This morning as I climbed out of bed I kissed Makenna then Levi & James. As I was kissing Levi, Makenna woke up. She cried.

“Mommy, I don’t want you to leave me. I don’t want daddy, or Mercy, or Eden. I want you mommy. Please don’t leave me.” … she is 2. My heart broke.

She clutched onto my neck and held me with a death grip. “Mommy don’t leave me!”

I said, “baby, mommy has to go to work but I’ll be back tonight.”

“I’ll go to work with you mommy.”

My precious angel girl ♥️

She turned 2 in May. Sometimes she expresses her thoughts and feelings too well for my heart to handle.

I kissed her cheeks and handed her to James and he cuddled her while she cried as I walked out of the room.

Maybe one day there I’ll be a time where I just get to be home with her always 💜

That’s not what I’m called to right now… God has called me to be a nurse. This is where I am meant to be.

I am walking in the purpose that God has for me at this time… it may be with tears in my eyes for a while… but I know this is where I am meant to be and I know my baby will be loved and cared for while I am gone.

She will grow in this and so will I 🌺🌸
