So, the last few weeks I've interviewed, done the HR tango and now I'm waiting to be placed on the schedule!!!!! I'm in the ER baby!!!

I interviewed on a Friday, was told to "expect a call in the next day or so"...so I waited, no call that afternoon. Saturday came and went, as did Sunday and Monday (was a holiday)...Tuesday I dressed up, went and bought a nice thank you card and tried to drop it off...no one that interviewed me was there! The receptionist told me to take it back to the nurses station and ask one of the nurses to place it in their box :/. Well, I did it. LOL. I was looked at like a FREAK!!!!

That evening my husband had to take someone to that ER, so I asked him to see if one of my interviewers was there and make sure they got my card (two other interviewees were from my alma mater and I KNEW they would be bringing cards too!). When he asked one of the manager he said "shoot! I was supposed to call her!" So my husband was there when I got the call offering me the job!

Fast forward three weeks- I've done the HR tango, submitted my two weeks notice at my current job....and now I'm waiting to be placed on the schedule! My ENPC and TNCC books are my best friends at the moment!

I am so excited and can't WAIT to get the call. I am half expecting it to come while I'm at work this evening (I've always been called at night) LMAO!!!!!

Wooooooooo!!!!!! ER here I come!!!!!!

Just dropping by...how did it go?

I just finished 3/3 and I had a frigging BLAST!!!!! I am having the time of my life! Pretty much tell my preceptor to sit and relax and let me do it, when I need help, I'll ask, but I'd rather drown when I know I have backup than think its all ok because I'm not carrying a full load.

Typical ER stuff. Had an interesting Pediatric case, but the parents signed AMA :/ I was rather upset about that

You'll be FINE! I'll tell you the same thing Oneida the nurses told me an hour into day 1- leave the nerves at the door, you're in for a hell of a ride!
