Big city hospital vs. medium suburban/rural hospital. What's the difference???

 In a big city hospital, there are more people running around. I remember the operating room being more spacious (even though rent per square foot is higher in the city). The operating room at Saint Agnes hospital in Fresno is much smaller or it appears that way to me now. I can't think right now so I'm stopping this post. It's been a long day at the hospital. 

I returned from a break, and I can write now. A few years ago, I temporarily resided in Danville, CA with Aunt Susie & Uncle Tommy. I got the feel for a city life...once again like I had in NYC except I wasn't making a lot of money and was making enough to buy food for myself. This time, though, I wasn't depending on student loans either. City life in Danville/SF was a good experience for me. I commuted from Walnut Creek BART to my workplace and vice versa. If I could afford life in SF Bay Area, I'd live there in a heartbeat. This nursing career might afford a livelihood up there, but sometimes, I don't know if I'm capable of the physical work that's nursing entails. I'd like to be. It's so physically exhausting. 

For some reason, I like the feeling of commuting to work using public transportation. It's different than the rural/suburban life where people use a car to get to work and back home. It's just different. 

I could get used to San Diego. I lived there temporarily, too with my brother. I had my own room then, too. I wasn't making much then either but I was going to a workplace. San Diego is truly a paradise town. It's coastal. The sun always shines. People have good attitudes, unlike NYC where people's attitudes stink even if they're nice. San Diego is different, too. It's not your average town with farms or deserted land. 

I think Fresno is just the right pace. As I age, I even have trouble keeping up with the pace of life in Fresno. I don't know. If I need a faster pace work setting and want to stay in Fresno, there's always the ER or trauma. That's if I can keep up. I just don't want to work in a very small hospital, like in Hanford or Tulare. If I have to, then I will, but it's not desirable or ideal. 

At the end of the day, it's about saving patients, regardless of location or size of the hospital or the count of patients/cases. 

I mentioned that my dad's cousin and her daughter come from NYC (Long Island to be more specific), and had helped me adjust to the city. Well, awhile back I met my mom's cousin on her father's side (my grandpa who I never knew). Apparently, her daughter was also in NYC studying architecture while I was there for nursing school. She even worked for an architecture firm in NYC before moving back to Seoul, SK. Now, both daughters reside and work in Seoul, SK.
