I have a job!!!

[robinsnest]

Well the job interview went really well. I thought the atmosphere of the practice was awesome, I met 3 of 5 doctors and felt very comfortable asking all of them questions. They were welcoming and excited at the possibility of my coming. I was offered the job before I left. The salary was kind of low, and it wasn't hospital experience so I hemmed and hawed a bit. But it boiled down to 1) a job when no one else was interested in me 2) experience in primary care which is what I really think I want to get an NP and do forever...best way to find out? TRY IT! So I counter offered with a slightly higher salary but one that hit a benchmark I was more comfortable with then and they called today to accept!!! The nurse manager is having her hip replaced tomorrow so I will officially start Oct 26th!

I am so excited to be working! And not have to work any nights, holidays and only one saturday morning a month! In pediatrics! 15 min from my house! With a really wonderful welcoming atmopshere!

Guess this is the last time I can use the "nursing school" tag...weeeird.

Bullshit! Don't put yourself down like that, you just said they offered you a job before you even left! That almost never happens, and it means they were worried someone else would snap you right up if they let you walk out the door. (And it's not like you've been looking for months and months, so don't even talk about yourself like that. You're fabulous!)

well I'm going off the whole sent-a-billion-resumes out and I hadn't heard squat from hospitals..they're just not hiring a lot. But thank you :-) I think this is a REALLY good fit for me personality wise and that in the end is worth a slightly lower salary to me...and not having to work overnights.
