I'd just like to ask for everyone's good thoughts for next Monday. I have an interview for an ICU position at my hospital.
Don't get me wrong....I LOVE my position in the OR. I have made a decision to change my path and get experience in the ICU because I'm interested in pursuing CRNA. Our ICU posted two positions for 0645 PM to 0715 AM....experience preferred...WILLING TO TRAIN.
I just graduated last May, so I would be on the level of a new grad....but I have my RN license and experience in surgery. Hopefully that will be a plus.
I wasn't even in the door 5 minutes before I was told by the ICU spv that they had just hired 4 new grads and couldn't take on any more inexperienced nurses to train....for now. She said I might have better luck by december, or even a year from now.
Guess I'll wait. I've got so much going on and don't want to have to completely orient to a new hospital. We'll see what happens in the next 6-12 months.
I'm sorry you didn't get it, but maybe there is a good reason. Maybe there is something better coming up for you a little later? Doors of opportunity rarely close unless there is a window open :) You'll still be great no matter what, everything will work out :)
