Hi All,
Larry, it was great talking to you last night, and thank you for the well wishes…
Meg and RG, lol, thanks for you posts, i will tell all….
This job is completely different from what im currently doing. This postition involves working with doctors, assisting them with procedures, biopsies, ECG, giving immunisations, wound dressings, a complete turnaround from what i am currently doing, which is very exciting as my experience in nursing is going to go through the roof. It is a walk in medical centre, so every day will be different, i am also doing some reception duties as well.
Money wise, RG, it is less per hour, but i get paid more per hour at the moment as i do evening shift and weekends. The weekends in my new job will be 1 in about 6. Plus i am doing twice the hours at the new job, which is going to be a shock to the system, so yes, in essence i am getting paid a considerable amount more. Im looking long term, with what i learn here, my employment opportunities are going to skyrocket in the future! The ladies who interviewed me were amazing, so laid back and really stressed the importance of having a laugh and enjoying the job (can you believe it?) I think im really going to enjoy it.
I am giving 2 weeks notice today, so the following Monday i will start at the new place. I will be reading up on as much as i can before i start, so that i at least have some idea what i will be doing! There is full training there, and i will be buddied up with someone for the first month, until i get the hang of it.
I am totally exhausted today, the interview started at 7.30 and i was there till 9. They went through all the questions and then at the end said, well, you have the job! I actually got up and hugged them…lol. They had recieved a lot of resumes, but decided that they were going to pick the 2 they liked the most (there were 2 positions) and they interviewed the both of us and we both got the job. They went on gut instinct they said, and didnt want to muck around. So now i have a million things running through my head, things i have to get done before i start, i will need to get this house ship shape and get everyone into a routine as i will not be here during the day anymore. Its a bit daunting really, a huge change but one that i really needed.
So there you go….i can quite believe that happened, but im bloody glad it did!!!
I am working all weekend so i wont be at chat as much as id like to, but this will be my last one for a while…WooHoo!!
You all have a great day,
Take care, bye for now, Kathryn xxxSometimes you have to step outside of the person you’ve been, and remember the person you were meant to be, the person you wanted to be, the person you are.
