Back to Work

My medical leave has come to an end and I have to go back to work as an LPN in the clinics. Before I left it seemed like shit hit the fan, people were leaving left and right, and seemed like every other patient had increased complications.

When I was off for a little over a month I did a lot of reflecting and self work. I was able to slow down and adopt a more zen attitude. My hope is to keep this attitude moving forward to maintain a positive, healthy work environment.

How my day went today:

- I was unable to log into my stuff and had to wait for the leave administration to unlock everything. They were supposed to call me when all was said and done. Waited 3 hrs before trying to log on, was finally able to. Still have not received a confirmation call…

- My coworker burned popcorn and set the fire alarm off 😂

- I was able to ease into work today and take things a little slow while still feeling like I got a lot of work done.

We’ll see how tomorrow goes!

Returning to work after a medical leave can present various challenges, yet it also offers opportunities for personal and professional growth. Many healthcare professionals, especially nurses, may experience similar transitions. It's vital to establish a support network, whether through colleagues or online communities. Embracing a zen attitude can help manage stress levels and improve focus. Setting daily goals can also enhance productivity and job satisfaction. It's essential to communicate openly with team members and seek assistance when needed, especially during the initial re-entry phase. Moreover, adapting to a new workflow and understanding any changes in policies or procedures will ensure a smoother transition. Reflecting on previous experiences can provide valuable insights and help in identifying areas for improvement. Lastly, practicing self-care and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can boost resilience and enhance overall well-being in a demanding work environment. Let’s embrace our journeys back to work and support one another in fostering a positive atmosphere!
