I posted on Facebook yesterday about how much I hate my job. It was kind of a spur of the moment post. I didn't think about it before I posted it, but it's true, at least at the moment. I know I quit another job this year to take this one back and I don't hate this one as bad as that one. But losing my familiar accounts has been really difficult for me. I had those same accounts for 8 years. I only had to type a couple of work types on those accounts, leaving me pretty rusty when it came to all of the other kinds of reports. Now, I've got 2 different hospitals with 2 very different formats, new doctors, new place names and worst of all, report types I haven't had to do in 8 years. The other day, I had to type a multivessel bypass of the leg and I realized that I'd forgotten a lot of the leg muscles names. It's just really hard for an old dog to learn new tricks. I'll be okay in a couple of months. Or maybe 5. Or 6.
The learning curve should go much faster this time than when you first learned it all. It will be okay. Just keep reminding you of all the stuff you didn't like about the hospital job...being away from home, the bad chair, the hours, etc.

Hi friend, I would like to encourage you in your situation. My husband says the same thing daily and he is pure frustrated with his job. I understand the aches of the job. But remember where you are today, you were given that position for a purpose. Christ ordains our steps for good reasons. We may not understand or know why but in time we will. Each day of struggle I encourage you to give thanks to the Lord. I encourage you to hold on and remember his ways are not our ways. There are many out there struggling to find a job in this economy, God has blessed you with this one and for some reason he knew you were perfect for this job. I know that if you ask for his help he will refresh you in what you need to know to help relieve some of the frustration. God Bless you friend.
