Applying for a Regular Position

I have been working in the same hospital in two different departments for nearly 7 years, but not as a permanent staff.. meaning, I have not worked in a regular part-time or full-time position.. I've had a traumatic life-changing event late last summer, where I ended up taking a medical leave for 6 months.. and recently returned to work about a month ago, but on a gradual return to work program, meaning I'm working only 3 days a week, with shortened-hours shifts. 

The trauma has affected my brain in ways where my doctor says it is because it was an emotional shock.. I've become more forgetful than before and my mind often goes blank when asked questions (at work).. I've also forgotten some of the staff's names.. They'd greet me, and their name draws a blank.. I ended up looking at the board with their names on it to figure out who I was talking to.. Before the trauma, I'd like to say, I'm good with names.. Like, seeing their faces, I'll know their names.. I've also been forget in other ways.. like, the moment I step away from my car.. (for example, parked down at the mall, the moment I enter the mall doors, I can't recall if I've locked my car or not).. 

So I figured.. since I've already experienced a life-changing event in my life, might as well, try and apply for a regular position at a different Hospital.. Need a stable income, and it might be nice to change my daily life routine a bit.. I will still keep my current position, and just pick up shifts on my days off.. The position I'll be applying for, if I get it, is part-time, working Thursday to Sunday.. Which means, I'll be available to work Mon-Wed, if needed.. To keep my position at the current hospital, annually, I'll only need to work 31 full shifts minimum.. 

Change in working environment, change in the stability of income, working to become a better person.. I think is a good move from the traumatic event.. I don't know if my brain will ever work the same again, and maybe I'll need to learn new ways to use it.. Might as well work somewhere else and start fresh.. Maybe by then, other things will fall in place.. things that I've always hoped I had.. (friendships or romantic partner)..
