Subject: Job stuff

I had two interviews today, each longer than two hours, for the Hospice nurse position. The head of the program actually called me on the phone and asked me to PLEASE have an interview, and when I met her, she said "I've heard so much about you from so many people..." It was a bit scarey! But both interviews went well and I do feel that I am at least a good candidate and I will be considered. I will have to take a pay cut (and you all know just how weak our finances are) but life is more than just about money, eh?
I was actually asked about my spirituality! Not what it is, but if I had a solid basis of spirit and how I bring it to my nursing!!! I was awed. I do think this job is the right one for me. It will be a great combination of who I am as a nurse, woman, and spirit-filled person. And if I don't get the job, at least I had the courage to go through the process and was willing to grow.

[> I like the way you are looking at it! If it doesn't work out you don't lose anything, but at least you tried. Too bad about the money reduction, but you never know where this leads you to! If it is the right thing for you, everything else will fall in place. Congrats for the process so far! Wishing you much luck!!! -- Martina, 03:49:40 02/27/04 Fri

[> [> It's funny, but I wonder if it isn't a blessing that I've been without a paycheck for so many weeks. It won't seem like such an impact when I get one that is a bit smaller than it used to be. You're right, Martina....it will all work out as it should, and I know it. -- Betsy, 18:24:21 02/29/04 Sun

[> Hi Betsy *waving* that's wonderful news!! Congratulations!! Me, too, I've got the work I deeply love, and I think it's ok if, for a beginning, you don't get the money you are worth. But I'm convinced that we must work on the self-worth topic to finally get what we deserve. I'm with you in this life lesson, so let's go!! Good luck!! -- Ellen, 03:51:34 02/27/04 Fri

[> [> Ellen!!!!! How wonderful to see you!!!! And I agree. We ARE given the work we need. I guess that might be why I feel so unstressed about this job. If I should have it, I'll get it; if it isn't my time, it won't happen. Whichever, I will be fine. I still think about the line in the old poem Desiderata."Dispite what I might think, the Universe is unfolding as it should." -- Betsy, 18:31:01 02/29/04 Sun

[> Betsy, I think this is great news and I hope you get what truly makes you happy. From working with nurses for nearly 10 years I am always in awe of their abilities and love of their work. Especially Hospice nurses - they have the biggest hearts of all. I know what you mean about money. I have a part time job with an engineering company that I hate, but it pays pretty well and I just started another part time job as a fitness instructor for the Curves Fitness Centers that I love, but it doesn't pay so well. So, we do what we can, and the rest will fall into place. Good luck and keep us up on when you get the job! -- Bandruidh, 09:51:55 02/28/04 Sat

[> [> I've known all my life that I was destined to be a nurse. Actually, I think I have been in the healing business for many many centuries. I had a reading done the other day, and the woman told me some really interesting things. I had never met her before, but she cued into my profession (and my calling) right away. She told me that I have had several violent deaths and that is part of the reason I feel called to work with people making the transition between this existance and the next. She said all kinds of neat stuff, but I thought this was pretty interesting. And you are a Curves instructor??? I've been thinking of joining!!! You go, Girl!!!! We've got to feed our souls with our work, not just our pocketbooks. -- Betsy, 18:41:27 02/29/04 Sun

[> [> [> It's funny you mention having a reading done and were told about how you were called to this profession because of events in past lives. I have had two separate readings by two different psychics and both told me I had been a Native American female healer in a past life. While I have worked in the medical field in this life as a support person I have not pursued a degree in it. Perhaps being a Curves instructor is my way of helping to heal people by teaching them to take better care of themselves through fitness and healthy eating choices. By all means check our your local Curves, Betsy. Since I started Oct 28 I have lost nearly 20 pounds and 14 inches. I put on my size 10 jeans the other day and had room to spare. It works and it's fun! (Geesh, do I sound like a commercial or what?!) *g* -- Bandruidh, 21:35:44 02/29/04 Sun

[> (((Betsy))), you know I think you are the perfect person for this position. Everything crossed for Tuesday. Call me on Thursday, or e-mail me or something. You'll be in my thoughts. BTW-love talking with you!!!! -- Keira, 19:43:58 02/28/04 Sat


[ Edit | View ]
[> [> Oh, Keira. (((((Keira))))) It is always such a blessing to talk to you!!! I just wish we lived in closer proximity. Or that we were wealthy (money-wise, that is..), so we could travel back and forth easily. I'll let you know what happens. -- Betsy, 16:55:12 02/29/04 Sun

[> I have the third interview on Tues. morning at 8:00. This one is with the team I would be working with. I know most of the people on the team. I'm excited for this! It feels good. 8:00 AM isn't my best time (I'm a night nurse, remember...hahahahahaha) but after being an at-home mom for 3 months, I think it will be ok. I've kind of gotten used to sleeping at night and being awake during the day. I'm sure I can get through the interview without yawning.... -- Betsy, 18:52:18 02/29/04 Sun

[> Betsy, what a wonderful surprise! I have been out of town and computer-free for days, at my parents' house, and I just read your latest posting. Hooray for you! I'm out here rootin' for ya!!!!! -- beccabee, 21:51:10 02/29/04 Sun

[> Thinking about you again, Betsy, late this Monday night. Love go with you tomorrow morning. Waiting with great expectations for your next report. -- beccabee, 21:37:29 03/01/04 Mon

[> [> Thanks, beccabee. Your thoughts must have been good ones and powerful, too. The interview went well and it looks at least like I am a solid candidate for the job. I don't know how long before I hear anything, but I feel good about what has happened so far. One really important piece is that I allowed myself to be willing to open to the possibilities that the Universe has to offer. It is an important step for me to take, to dare to allow change and to be willing to jump out in faith away from my area of safety and comfort. I really appreciate your support. -- Betsy, 21:36:27 03/02/04 Tue

[> Oh Betsy! Hope they don't keep us all in suspense too long!!!!!!! -- beccabee, 22:11:41 03/02/04 Tue
