Hello friends,
As many of you know, I’ve been preparing for a new travel assignment in Jersey City, in the great State of New Jersey. And today marked the beginning of this journey. It's almost three months long.
I started the day bright and early, well aware that navigating the Tri-State traffic requires vigilance and preparation. Thankfully, my early start paid off handsomely. I arrived at Jersey City more than 40 minutes ahead of schedule. While we were initially promised a free parking lot, that didn’t turn out to be the case. However, the situation worked in our favor today as our tickets were valeted free of charge at the end of the day. Will let tomorrow worry about itself.
The day itself was focused on onboarding and tackling the intricacies of the hospital’s software systems, computers, training modules, and policy reviews. For someone like me who thrives on challenges, it was an engaging experience, my delight.
It's a beautiful facility. You could actually see the status of liberty on Ellis Island, NY.
One standout aspect of the day was my visit to the Employee Healthcare Department. It was refreshing to encounter such a welcoming atmosphere. The young lady at the front desk was so helpful and patient-almost Saint-like. Unlike other facilities I’ve been to, there was no attitude or impatience directed toward us newcomers without our documents in order. The team’s kindness in that department left a strong first impression, and I am optimistic about working here.
Tomorrow, the real work begins: hands-on training and immersion in the units. I am staying on South Street here in town. It’s a nice area, but parking is going to be my biggest challenge. I did find a place to park later in the evening but have to move that baby (Ava) by 10am-No worries, I will be long gone. As someone transitioning from a more country environment to a bustling city, adapting will take some effort. But adjustment, adaptation and learning are what I do best, and I’m ready to tackle whatever comes my way.
So pals, this piece is to new beginnings, growth, and making the most of every opportunity.
Until next time, I remain Pal Ronnie
