Another Me: Newly rejacketed

Product Information

Whether you are on placement at our Trust or elsewhere, we would love to talk to you around what you are looking for and what we can offer you, and by making an application here will begin that conversation. Also, in mental health nursing you get a lot more time to talk to people. General healthcare is more task-oriented, but in mental healthcare we can sit and have good conversations and give people hope when they are feeling at their worst. It's more about relationships and being able to build up a rapport. There are occasionally articles, usually by Gen Xers, about how there's no "definitive" millennial novel. As a Gen Xer, I have to say we're full of it. There are definitive millenial novels out there--and this is one of them. The New Me is about life in a world where "good" is defined and out of reach and all that's left is platitudes. Millie sees this, rages against it, and it seduced and trapped by it all the same. But it's enjoyable. It's something that I feel like I can do now because I took my time, I pushed myself in the first six to eight months I didn't do extracurricular activities. I solely focused on getting my nursing skills up to a place where I felt they were good. I feel like that assisted me to be able to be in charge. I am now able to see the bigger picture of what is happening on the ward. I was a little bit anxious about doing assessments on my own, but I’d say that don't need to worry because we're very well supported.

The nihilism of The New Me is relentless, but is there a freedom in it? I don't think so, and that is what makes the book so fascinating and so utterly, thoroughly, raw and uncompromising. It's not a comforting read, but it doesn't want to be. It's screaming into the void and aware there will never, ever be a reply. If you stay in the Trust that you trained in that can be positive because it's quite daunting when you first qualify and get that first job. For me, staying in the same Trust has really helped. They’ve been very supportive.When I was newly qualified I went straight on to rotation in adult nursing. I would recommend it. You have to be adaptable because you are moving around every six months. You have to be a good communicator and generally good with people to get the best out of it, to be able to adapt to different work environments and different types of nursing. Are you a nursing student in your final year and looking for an opportunity to join our great nursing teams as Staff Nurse? We know that our success depends on the commitment and dedication of our staff and we aim to recruit and retain the best staff possible could this be you? When the possibility of a full-time job offer arises, it seems to bring the better life she's envisioning - one that involves nicer clothes, fresh produce, maybe even financial independence - within reach. But with it also comes the paralyzing realization, lurking just beneath the surface, of just how hollow that vision has become.

The New Me is a book that has been on my periphery since it first came out. The cover, title, and summary were relatively intriguing as they gave me some very strong Ottessa Moshfegh/ The Bell Jar vibes. Still, it wasn't anywhere close the top of my TBR until I saw that Halle Butler is going to introduce a new edition of The Yellow Paper. Thirty-year-old Millie just can't pull it together. Misanthropic and morose, she spends her days killing time at a thankless temp job until she can return home to her empty apartment, where she oscillates wildly between self-recrimination and mild delusion, fixating on all the little ways she might change her life. Then she watches TV until she drops off to sleep, and the cycle begins again. Our purpose is simple - Putting Patients First. We are looking for exceptional colleagues who can help us achieve this.A 2008 graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago, Butler published her darkly brilliant feel-bad debut novel, “Jillian,” with local publisher Curbside Splendor in 2015. Centered on the deluded friendship of two awkward, self-loathing co-workers, that book examined the disappointments of the American workplace and the diminished rewards of the so-called American dream.
