HIRED!

Today at 9:57 AM I received a call from the nurse recruiter, and she offered me a job on the med-surg unit. Sweet! Tomorrow I'm going to fill out all the paperwork, get my physical, and get my badge. Woohoo!

what a TEASE

I have been growing more and more impatient with my application status at the hospital I applied to. I've been calling the nurse recruiter to get an update, but I just keep getting her voicemail. Each time I am tempted to yell, "CAN YOU PLEASE JUST TELL ME IF I AM HIRED OR NOT!?" But of course I don't and instead leave the generic message I have created for situations like this. I interviewed with three units, and I am very interested in two. And now the universe is starting to mess with me. Today I ran into the two nurse managers of the two units I want to work in. Oh come on! Both times I wanted to scream, "AM I HIRED OR NOT?!" It took all the inner strength I had not to do so. Please hire me.

But my life's not always such a downer. I officially graduated from college. And like I predicted, it was a circus. I also got to see the 2010 NBA Champion LA Lakers at the taping for Jimmy Kimmel. Apparently there were over 950,000 people who tried to get tickets. We were less than 50 feet away from them! It was so awesome! Tomorrow I'm going to buy the Wheaties box with the Lakers on it. =)
