Joy!
I have a job! I'm to be a per-diem orthopedics floor nurse at the big hospital here.
I've never had a particular interest (or disinterest, for that matter) in orthopedics, but when I interviewed on this floor I was struck by the friendliness of the staff. That in itself was enough to make me feel enthusiastic.
Further, due to marvelously flexible scheduling, I won't have to alter my Christmas plans! I'm still going to Maine for two weeks. I don't know if another floor would have accommodated this.
Now I must learn to juggle my 10-week, full-time orientation to the floor with my full-time grad school schedule. It will be a challenge, but I am bound and determined to succeed. Wish me luck.
