Specializes in LTC, Med/Surg.

Bout to finish my first contract and looking for my next. My main focus was for the Austin or San Antonio areas.... I know I need to be a little more broad than that when looking, so I decided to look in Texas and Arizona. When I was thinking TX, I was thinking larger cities. I think I've been submitted to 6 hospitals between the 3 agencies. I finally got an interview from a hospital yesterday. It sounds ok, but the area doesn't thrill me. It's Lufkin, TX. I was really hoping to go somewhere that I was excited about with the second contract instead I just feel like I'm taking what I can get. The manager is calling me back this evening after giving me a day to think to see if I'd like to go there. I'm kinda hoping another hospital will call in the meantime in a more exciting area.

Try CA. If you really don't want the next assignment, can you wait? It seems like there's always something in San Antonio.

I went ahead and declined it. I was just feeling a little pressured to take it since I had told them to submit me there. Did just interview for a job on the coast in Cali so hopefully I'll hear some good news on Monday and the license process won't take too long.

Go with your gut instinct. If a job doesn't feel right over the telephone it will only be worse when you get there and try to work. Just my 0.2
