Thursday July 2nd will be the last working day at Yakima Regional Medical Center. September 27th 2006 was my first day; I tried so hard to remember twenty names, four passwords, and watch a video on how to wash my hands properly, and learn how to properly not harass my coworkers sexually, asexually, financially, ecumenically and politically... the HR industry really makes you feel welcome! After nearly three years I have enjoyed a remarkable amount of personal growth and developed lasting friendships. I cared for the most acutely and chronically ill individuals in my career, and watched my colleagues do the same every day in the most safe and professional manner ever performed! There is not an anesthesia team, or an OR team that will offer a higher level of care in a better fashion than what I have been a part.
So why would Ryan McDonald decide to leave? My coworkers say its because I'm an ass, a quitter, a loser, a hate-ah, a fucko, and/or a retardo. Don't worry, I wont say who made up the title "retardo". These accusations are true, but not the impetus for leaving. Successful people set goals, achievable goals. Frequently, we are given opportunities to grow and progress regardless of what we do. Also frequently, we find we are not in a strategic position to take advantage of many opportunities. But occasionally, we see the intersection of opportunity, strategic goal setting, and truly understanding our circumstance. Wisdom says take advantage of such an intersection. Complacency and comfort argue to remain still, forget about progress, and wait again; which is nice.
Recently, I have been open to an abundance of opportunities. I strongly value my time, family and talents. I also value productivity and resultant financial growth as a reward. I value wisdom and creativity. August 3rd, you will find us at the intersection of newfound opportunity, strategy and reward in Pullman, Washington. Keep in touch!
