Some of you may remember I post I made some time back, about feeling utterly burned out on my job.
Shortly thereafter, I had a long talk with my boss and my boss' boss, and to make a long story short, on July 1 I will start a new job...still at the same hospital, but after ten years of working with chronic sex offenders, I will be working with a more general psychiatric (though still forensic, with some sex offenders). I still will be the director of treatment services, but with a different group of clinicians.
It was hard saying good-bye to my friends - though I'll still see many of them - and harder still to say good-bye to my clients. Many of them have worked so very hard and are so very sorry for what they did. I've watched them struggle, fall down, and get back up again, and there are many of whom i am so proud. I pray for them all weekly, "especially those in most need of thy mercy."
Just wanted to let you guys know...I'm excited but scared half to death!
