8/8/08 lucky day!

Congratulations!!!

Hello all-

I have posted/commented on several threads about my inablity as a new grad to find a job: well no longer!

I interviewed on Tuesday and the recruiter called and offered the job to me today! I am so happy. It is a med/surg nights (7-7) and exactly where I wanted to start out!

I am so grateful for all the support this board gives! I know many new grads are in the same boat I was- unable to find a job. My advice is to just keep applying. Something will come!

Kate

Congrats!!!

Send some of that 8/8/08 luck my way---:chuckle

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :ancong!:

Congratulations Kate!

Sounds like 8/8/08 was your lucky day indeed. When I was doing my clinicals, many nurses recommended starting out with 1-2 years experience in med-surg. As a new grad myself, I'm looking for a med-surg position also. I've heard different views, but I think starting out on days is a big plus. You'll probably be working with more experienced nurses than any other shift.

My "baby boy" was born at 7:59am on 8/08 (I don't think either one of us could wait 1 more minute until 8am!) He thought it was cool that he turned 21 yesterday (08/08/08). I tried to talk him into having an Summer Olympics theme party but I failed.... Instead he wants a "taco fiesta"....tacos, fajitas, salsa dips, etc...and cold beer! Hopefully the weather cooperates here.

Good luck in your new position!

Congrats! You'll do great!

And yummy taco fiesta!!

Thanks Alicia! I put the job search on hold for a few days...went away with my husband (the day after the big party). Everyone had a great time...they loved the fiesta theme. Hopefully when we get home, my house won't be a fiasco!
