Impatient me. That's what I get.

Bad news?

So, I had my interview today. It was at Presby Allen. I was very nervous, but I did the best that I could. Like I said yesterday, I know that I am qualified for the job, I'm just a socially anxious person. I fumbled over my words, and completely forgot to mention a critical point in a "What If..." scenario. It finally came to me, but not before I made myself look like an idiot. I did great on the other "What If" scenarios...I just can't help thinking about the one that I fumbled on. Darn me. Anyway, they are a smaller hospital with fewer ER beds and less interventions than I am used to, so yes, I am qualified! I must keep telling myself that. I interviewed with the Director and the Manager of the ER. After the interview, they took me on a tour of the ER, and then I said bye. They told me to expect to hear back in "a day or so." Good or bad? Thoughts?

Anyway, if you could just ask the Big Guy to be with me tomorrow, I'd appreciate it!

I've been getting sent home from work early just about each shift that I've worked for the past couple of weeks. It's frustrating, but more than that, we count on the money that I earn...and I haven't been getting all of it. So, I filled out an application for another local hospital on Monday. On Tuesday I got a e-mail invitation to complete their online assessment. The assessment is basically asking your reactions to certain situations. It's a pretty general test, but you have to score a certain way to move one. Immediately after I submitted the assessment, I was sent an e-mail to complete a more thorough nursing assessment...again asking what I would do in certain situations...this time situations related to nursing. I sent that in, and received a call from the hospital's recruiter this morning! Whoo-hoo! That was the FASTEST that an HR office has ever gotten back to me!

I just wanted to say that I LOVED working the night shift last night! I was so much more laid back than the day shift, and I had a lot of fun! I ended up going home at 2:00 am instead of 3:00 am because the ER was super slow...but I totally could have lasted the last hour.

The portraits of the boys turned out super adorable today! I can't wait to get them back so I can post them and show all of you!

How frustrating...

It took me 2 hours to prepare last night for the boys to go to the sitters house today. I made schedules for both of them, and emergency contact sheet with permission for medical treatment, packed their bag, made Colin's breakfast & lunch, got bottles ready for Brennan, put the car seats in Miguel's car, packed the bouncy seat & the pack 'n play etc.

I mentally prepared myself to leave Brennan, and left for work this morning only to find that my manager made a mistake and never put me on the schedule...so, they sent me home. Ugh.

Turns out that I wasn't on the schedule for Thursday night either, so I added myself. We'll see what happens.

I'm really nervous about my first day back at work. It's not that I'm nervous about work...even though I haven't been there in practically 4 months...but I'm nervous about leaving Brennan. Colin doesn't worry me anymore, he's a big boy now...but Brennan is so small. I know that I don't really have anything to worry about, but I'm sure I'll call the sitter about 1000 times tomorrow just to check on them.
