Potential new job update...

Well... It took 2 days to connect with the HR lady... she wanted references... so I gave her the name of someone who does my job at another hospital (whom I have know since day 1 in this position) and my current manager (whom I get along with fabulously!). And then I waited thru ANOTHER weekend that seemed to have WAY too many hours to endure......... And then this last Monday.... my buddy from the other hospital emails me and says to call. Which I try....

and try....

and try...

And instead of her hospital... I get... (no ringing involved here) 'White Caps Nursing Agency' ???

Or.... 'Hi, this is Dave... leave a message'

and.... 'Hello??? (again no ringing involved) Hello??' 'Um, hi.. .is this the hospital?' 'No.... this is the mental health clinic'... 'Oh, shit'

And so the phones continued... apparently there was a screw-up in one of our buildings that screwed phones all over the neighborhood... oops....

She finally called me... HR called... the interview went well... and she lamented my leaving... but understands the "it's time to do something new" issue. She, too, has job-hopped around a bit....

And then my manager called and said HR had called and the interview went well and she told HR that I would be missed if they hired me.....

And I waited some more....

And some more.....

And on Thursday, the HR lady called me..... AND OFFERED ME A JOB!!!!!!!!!

WHOOHEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

However.... she sort of encouraged me not to accept the offer she made because they are trying to increase the pay grade for my position and she would have better information on Monday or Tuesday and would I like to think about the job over the weekend? and she would call early next week...

WELL, DUH!!!!!!!!!!

I told her I would be happy to hear from her on Monday... ;-)

I am a happy girl....
