externship! :)

so i just wanted to share my good news!!! i applied for an externship at the hospital that i am a tech for...there are 20 spots and they interviewed 60 students so i really thought my chances were slim ESPECIALLY since i chose the NICU ( a popular area for externs) and critical care areas for the unit to work on... and while my grades are good, i do not make straight A's. on top of it all, i thought my interview could have went a lot better.

well i got a phone call yesterday to say that I GOT IT!!!!! :) and not only did i get the externship but i got it in the NICU which was my #1 choice and my dream!!!!!! i am still in shock..i can't believe this summer i will be spending 10 weeks with a nurse working in the NICU. i am beyond thrilled :D and i get paid, which is a definite bonus because i would have accepted the position without pay because it means THAT much to me. i feel like all the hard work i have put in is FINALLY paying off..i am doing well in school and now i am getting my foot in the door in the NICU. i can only hope this experience goes well and maybe they will offer me a tech or an RN position at the end (ahhh!! fingers crossed!!!!)

THANKS FOR ALL THE ADVICE ALLNURSES AND GOOD LUCK NURSING FAMILY :)
