ljgeoffI really enjoyed this contract. I learned a ton of nurse-y stuff and am more able to handle more complex floor assignments. A lot of trauma on this floor.
The new contract is in Des Moine, Iowa. UnityPoint Luthern is a 189 bed, trauma level IV hospital, which makes it about twice the size of the little Iron Mountain, Michigan hospital I've worked at, but about half the size of where I am now. I'll see a steady stream of elective surgeries, and minor emergencies like COPD exacerbation, chronic heart failure exacerbation, and systemic infections that need IV antibiotics. Easy enough stuff.
My last day is this coming Wednesday - I'll drive back to Lansing Wednesday night, pack a few things, take kids to school Thursday morning, and head up to Negaunee.
