I had worked in Bradenton, Florida on and off for 2.5 years. During that time, I became close to several of my coworkers. Clearwater, FL is a one-hour drive from Bradenton, FL. So, while I am on my current assignment, I planned a get together with some of my prior co-workers. Some of them still work at the same clinic, while others do not.
It was actually so much fun and I am glad I was able to get us together. I was impressed that 95% of the people I invited made it. There is something special about people you work/worked with. Only they can understand the good and bad times at work. We laughed the entire time, reminiscent of the past but also catching each other up with the current.
We had such a good time that everyone agreed to do it again soon. This time I may invite a few extra people. Even as a traveling nurse practitioner, I am still able to form strong connections in the workplace. Although I cant see or talk to them on a regular basis, it is still worth catching up time to time.
