Sorry for not getting on here for a few, I actually forgot about it, lol, that and I didn't have a very exciting week... I had an in-person interview for the Rainbow Babies PRN job on Friday the 16th, and it went ok- I thought I annwered all the questions really well, positive, and truthful! Then the clinical manager took me on a tour of the floor- which is HUGE and includes three separate halls of patient rooms- three stock rooms and three med rooms with a total of 33 patient beds... and I felt like she pushed me out the door after the tour! It was very undsettling. I still havent heard if I got the position or not, but I know that they ran my backround check and called my manager now and some references. I am ASSuming that all means I got the job, because why go through all that if it doesnt, but who knows. I hope I hear something very soon because I want to start planning for it! The uniforms there are anything goes, as long as it's kid friendly, so I need to buy some new scrubs as mine are all white, or Cleveland Clinic handprints right now... I've always been really excited to buy fun scrubs someday, but interestingly enough when I went looking to see what I might want I was completely overwhelmed! I really didnt know where to start! I know what pants I want bc I have a specific brand/style I like, but as far as tops and patterns and prints go, whoah! It's also going to be rather expensive bc with working 5 12s a week, I'm not going to be able to do laundry as often, so I need to get more than just 1 or 2 sets and I really dont want to be spending $$ on that right now with Xmas so close! So, fingers crossed I hear very soon!
On another note, Ive been trying to schedule an appointment at the Holiday Inn to see their banquet rooms for the past 5 weeks or so and no one has called me back yet! I personally went in to try to schedule it thefirst time, and called the second time, and no go yet. They don't reserve the room until 9 months before, so I actually have almost a year before I can reserve the room, but I at least want to see what its like and get more info so I can start deciding where we want to have the reception and just be prepared to put the deposit down when it's time! frustrating! Also, there's this BEAUTIFUL wedding dress at the Salvation Army of all places, and it's only $75 for a sweetheart strapless beaded gown with a chapel train and a veil and is in fabulous condition- but it's a size 4, and totally doesnt fit =( not to mention that I already have a wedding dress, but still, I really like this one... sigh...
Work has been work- working nightshift for the past who knows how long- it feels like forever! Has been going just ok- very busy lately, and TONS of H1N1 flu which means sticky hot noisy blue plastic gowns and suffocating face masks and eye shield and gloves and isolation for each patient room with a +Flu A result. We've had over half the floor on this kind of isolation for +Flu A (which means you very most likely have H1N1) and it's getting exhausting! Any kind of extended activity you need to do in all this isolation stuff like making a bed, gets you completely sweaty and gross! not to mention what it does to your hair- goodbye any kind of good hair day! I'm back on dayshift next week and the week after, then more nights, funfun... tonight is a really good crew though, and has been relatively enjoyable!
And last, but not least, after going to two clambakes and eating mussels twice at a bar- I really like mussels much much better than clams!
time to go check on my patients- peace!
