The Job Change

The first step I've taken to re-take control of my life? I've decided to change my job. I've spent the last 3 years as an Emergency Room nurse. I love the critically ill patients, the thought process, and all of my coworkers. That being said, I hate being called mean names by patients, being assaulted, and having things thrown at me. Also, the hours make it difficult for me to have any kind of a regular sleeping schedule. So...I've decided to transition to cath lab. 
The bad part? It pays a little less, which is why conquering my finances needs to become an even greater priority. 
The good part? It's bankers hours, I sedate the patients so they can't yell at me, and I'll still be working with a great group of people. I'm hoping that this change will be an effective first step in conquering my life. 
My last day in the ER will be January 16th, which will give me 5 days to start waking up in the morning hours for the first time in years. Wish me luck!
