Re: New Job (again)
Thanks everyone for the good wishes .... I haven't been on the PC much this week, so sorry for the tardy reply!
I'm often late in finishing these days and tend to sleep a lot when I get home!
I have to work tomorrow, and am kinda nervous about being on my own on the unit. Big-time butterflies!
best get to bed now!

Re: New Job (again)
I guess I should celebrate with you guys my latest new job.
It's the fifth since I arrived in 2005, and hopefully will be longer lasting than the others, two of which were temporary posts, and two of which I left for various reasons.
So my new post is permanent fulltime physiotherapist on the burns and plastic surgery unit at the Foothills Hospital.
I have never done either burns or plastics before, but I was in the right place at the right time, and am finding it a fascinating, more than a little terrifying and greatly rewarding job.
We follow the burns guys from their acute injuries (or at least when they leave ICU) up to their total rehab, often for more than a year, so you can imagine the sort of relationship one can build working with patients over that length of time.
I feel excited and privileged and more than a little proud to be working with these folks!
