It felt like the air conditioning was blasting and the training room was about 60 degrees
I was recently offered a job that I could not refuse. I have been working as a nurse in a small hospital for the past couple of years and I am really ready for a change. I love the hospital I currently work at but I don’t gain much experience because they are not many patients that come in every day. Most days we get two to four patients and it is normally something very simple to fix. However, I was offered a job at the brand new, state of the art hospital that is opening a couple of towns over. I know that I will either have to move or make a long commute everyday, but I think it will be worth it in order to get experience working in the operating room. The current hospital I am in is so small that the heating and cooling system is controlled right by the nurse station, that means that if I am too cold I can just change the temperature of the thermostat. When I walked into my first day at the new hospital, it was freezing cold. It felt like the air conditioning was blasting and the training room was about 60 degrees. I was shocked that no one else was complaining about the blasting air conditioner and the temperature of the room. I didn’t want to complain since it was my first day, but I am definitely going to have to bring a sweater tomorrow! I just hope the they turn down the thermostat as the hospital opens and we start to accept patients.
