Not sure who has been following my posts or not... I am currently working on a medsurg floor and have been for 3 years. I applied for an ICU position about a week and a half ago. Interviewed yesterday. Interview went well... DON said he had 2 more interviews to do and would let me know something next week.... Well today I'm at work, pulling meds from the pyxis and here comes the DON of the ICU. He walks right through the nurses station with this huge smile on his face. He comes right up to me and asks me if I still want to work in the ICU... Umm yes!! He said he asked a few doctors about me yesterday and they all gave me raving reviews. He said he wanted to hurry and offer me the position before I changed my mind!! :lol2: I was so excited! Of course I accepted!! So here I am.. going from a day shift medsurg nurse to a night shift ICU nurse. I've been wanting this for a long time. I feel excited, nervous, overwhelmed, honored, overjoyed, and relieved.
Thank you for your support everyone. I'm still very excited and nervous. I am going to work 2 more weeks on my medsurg floor before starting in the ICU. I have A LOT to learn!!
