It is not easy—when you have been in medicine for a long time and worked in a lot of places—to get through all the documentation material and pick up a new license or two when you decide to sign up to work with locum tenens staffing agencies.
But (VISTAites) Bessie Thornton, Chris Taylor, and Sean Clark have been very good to me and have found me good situations to work in. It does take some focus and attention to keep the work situation going while making sure you have the time you need to climb, hike, fish, ski, play tennis, golf and keep the house from falling apart. My move to Colorado has accentuated the way time flies with the change of seasons vs. living in California where there is little change of season. Makes it more important to keep your scheduling skills sharp and VISTA has been a big help to me.
