New Job

So here's the latest update. I have started my new job at Matria. I will be a primary case manager, which means: I organize in home care for high risk ob patients between the physician, patient, and the home health nurses. This service allows for a time to educate patients and will hopefully prevent many patients from being admitted to the hospital and potentially prevent some preterm deliveries, thus preventing some outrageous labor and delivery and NICU bills. So far I love it!!!!! I never imagined that I would step away from the bedside, but the model of this company is so fascinating to be a part of. It's one of the first companies to realize the importance of patient education and prevention. I work in a little area of the building with 5 other nurses. We each have a cubicle, which I just think is hilarious. The other 5 nurses I work with are all amazing and so much fun. I will also be doing what's called "Babyline" which is a 24 hour advice line for pregnant patients up until their baby is 6 weeks old. We are still in the process of painting and getting our apartment looking better. Next weekend we're taking out the old countertop. I know that we're probably going to get in trouble, but oh well. Maybe in 2 years they won't remember what it looked like before we moved in. We'll post pictures as soon as we're done. Love you all
