Post Shave: Thayer’s Aloe Vera toner; Aloe Vera moisturiser
First head shave of 2024!
2 passes, WTG and ATG/XTG. No scents, but a very comfortable shave.
I’d like to wish everyone here a happy new year!
As for myself, unfortunately not so much happiness…
Since it finally sunk in that I will not only leave my old job, but also my most precious favourite colleagues behind there’s not been a single day where I haven’t cried at least once. It’s hard to understand for others - but nursing is one of those professions where you really grow together: you’re working weekends, holidays and different shifts together. You’ll start to know each other very well and you stick together. Hell, 4 of them have grown so close to me that I would consider them a second family… So it’s really hard for me. Even though it’s the right decision, as one of them who was my mentor will also leave the place at the end of January. So the collective would have been broken anyway…
But my heart still aches, even though we will all keep in contact and will hopefully meet up in private. Tomorrow I will have my first early shift at my new nursing home - I try to focus on the positives and will try to present myself as motivated as possible, but currently it’s harsh times for me emotionally. But I refuse to give up - better days will be coming, hopefully soon!
Maybe it’s just the year where you find many more awesome friends like you did in the last place you queried at? Hals und Beinbruch at your new job tomorrow!
First shift is long behind me, so far I can say it’s way different than the old place. I’ll see how close I will grow with the new team… At least it’ll be a good place to finish my retraining as an RN successfully.
