For the past three months, I have been working on a project with my boss, educator, and several other employees at my hospital. We are getting close to our go-live date for implementing our new charting system. I’m glad that I’ve gotten to shine a little bit over the past few months, but I’ve been in the spotlight more and more as the training has started. I love teaching and educating. It’s my ultimate goal for my career. The one thing I’ve been heading towards since I got my Masters degrees. I’ve done the manager thing and I hated it. I’ve been in middle management and in truth, it’s where I have always been most comfortable. It’s always been just the right amount of responsibility for me. As a newly-wed, the last thing I want to do is have 24 hour accountability. But I am ready to step out of my comfort zone. I was offered an opportunity and I really want to change it, but I also know other changes are on the way. What if I make the wrong decision? Can I make this work for me?

I’m very excited and nervous, but so ready for what might be.
