I get offers to work elsewhere by recruiters all the time. They call my cell, I've had messages on my office phone and once even on my home phone. They send e-mail and snail mail to both work and home addresses.
This current e-mail is currently calling my six and a half years where I am a "lengthy run" and "a very impressive accomplishment." (Yes, direct quotes) It just boggles my mind a bit.
Are there really so few people that don't move around and switch jobs every other year? I mean, I knew people didn't stay here very long before me, as one patient mentioned she had seven different doctors in seven years before I moved here. But six and a half years being a lengthy run? What?
Then again, since I see kids, too, I already had reminders of time passing: boys coming back for the fall med checks and they sprouted and had voice changes over the summer. Seeing kids not only graduate high school, but college as well and I'm adjusting meds as they move through their first jobs. Seeing kids of patients grow from babies to toddlers. MY OWN babies turning into toddlers and school age kids.
If there are too many bullshit demands, I know I can pick up and leave at any time. But I guess I never thought of six and a half years in one place as impressive. I suppose I can start thinking of it that way, especially if the nurse practitioner is updating her resume this morning...
