Forward Momentum
I gave myself a theme for my new years "resolution" rather than a specific task or unobtainable goal. This year I chose joy have been attempting to base all of my actions and decisions from a place of joy. I have spent quite a bit of time trying to piece together or dissect what it is about my job or career that makes me so damn miserable. Seriously, I'm a total bitch now and I hate people. All of them. SO that had to change. I figured a few things out and gave myself a deadline (Memorial Day) to leave the hospital setting. If that didn't happen I would change my employment states to Pool (no bennies but only 4 shifts per month required at a fixed rate) and focus on pounding some serious pavement.
So I updated my resume and started scouring job boards. Close to 90% of RN jobs posted are hospital based -ugh. I found a few that met my new criteria and applied, getting interest from a cardiac office via third party. I am so not a cardiac nurse. I just flunked my last rhythm strip test. Don't be mistaken I can look at a strip and know when it's a problem and when it's nothing to worry about but don't ask me to give it a name. Just not my forte nor does it hold any interest for me. I declined the offer.
I am aware of my strengths and what I enjoy doing when it comes to work. I sent my resume off to Planned Parenthood. An hour later I received a call for an interview. My interview was scheduled for Monday and I didn't hesitate to call in to work (first time but they dont give you a medal for perfect attendance) to attend. After a few brief moments I was interviewing for a supervisor position. The interview lasted over 2 hours as they kept passing me up the chain from branch to district to regional office. I was offered (informally of course) the job on the spot. My conditional offer (drug test and background check) arrived in my email box today.
Finally, a job where no holidays are required. None. Ever. A job where my strengths are utilized. A job where I may actually make a difference. I am so looking forward to submitting my notice on Thursday and getting out of the ER.
