Ok, so I did an update recently to say how much I am enjoying my new job. Yup! I have just done a four day stint, long hours I can tell ya! Very tired!

Anyway, I was expecting to be shadowing for a couple more weeks and I did wonder why my colleague spent all day testing me on Saturday. When I turned up to work yesterday I wondered where the boss was? YOU are the boss they said! I guess they didn't want me worrying about it. It went brilliantly. Apart from the fact that I had to get an agency nurse to do the night shift, it all went very, very well. I'm real tired right now but I'm so proud I managed to do it. All the care assistants under me knew what they needed to do, I helped of course. Nothing went wrong, gosh I never knew I would be capable of managing. And THIS is my job, I love it! Need to go to bed soon!

That's really awesome. Congratulations.

Are they giving you a salary increase to go along with the increased responsibility?

I feel like I'm bragging but for the first time in my life I get paid very well for what I do.

Thank you everyone for the encouragement.

Peg, have a question for you: are you in the UK?

If so, what would a person who described his occupation as a "medic" have done as far as routine responsiblities there?

If you are not in the UK, then nevermind.

Yes I am in the UK. Well, a 'medic' can mean anything but usually used in terms of emergency care like a paramedic but not usually a doctor.

Here is a definition from Wikipedia.
