Got the job...

So I finally got a call today from Children's Hospital of Wisconsin-Fox Valley (CHW-FV) today with a job offer...

...and I decided to take it.

Therefore, I no longer am employed by Appleton Medical Center, and will start at CHW on June 7th! So I get a week off, yipee! CHW's orientation process for just the hospital wide stuff is quite extensive. I have to go to the Corporate Office in Milwaukee for 3 days, 2 separate weeks. They transport us (me and any other new employees from the area) to Milwaukee, put us in a hotel overnight Monday and Tuesday, and drive us back Wednesday afternoon(or rent us a car to carpool ourselves). That is a bit much, but oh well.

So anyway, we will see next week what my new schedule will look like. I am anxious to find out so that I can plan my summer. The downfall of changing jobs: a whole new schedule (every other weekend again) Meeting new people again too. But the upside of the new job: NICU (no big people), day shift with minimal rotation to nights (I learned that the day shift is their short staffed shift from the nurses when I job shadowed)

I hope I don't regret making this change so soon. But I was worried if I passed up this offer and ended up hating labor and delivery, I would be stuck bored out of my mind! Time will tell!

Shut up...day shift before 30! What is this world coming to?

I'm glad that you got the job. They never did call me to chat. Darn, I had dreamed up some really great stories.
