I am so thankful to be working at the institution and the department that I do. In attempts to preserve PPE and decrease exposure, I was transitioned to part time these last two months without a cut in pay. I am so grateful.
I'm so thankful to be transitioning back to full time in June. I genuinely love what I do, I have amazing coworkers and attendings. I love to learn more and more about medicine and this field every day. I would love to feel like I have a purpose again.
I'm looking forward to having something to do again daily - turns out even with some exercise I like to pass my days eating junk and having cocktails. My heart aches for HCWs who lost their job, got a pay cut, or are really struggling.
This is my first job out of PA school. I picked up my life (again but with a man this time) and moved to a city where I knew no one and started fresh. I thought I was going to get experience and move home, but now this is my home.
For new PAs, it's okay if your first job isn't fantastic, isn't your new home. Finding that right away is rare. My advice is to find an institution that supports you as a PA, find attendings/SPs who help you look forward to work, and never quit learning!
8am rambles about how I'm so happy to be getting back to full time in a job and at a hospital that I love. (I'll hate it again by day 3 I'm sure)
