It's not quite Friday without a FridayFive. I'm a little bit put out, I have to say.
I've been reticent lately. Sorry about that. I've been reading, though, and sending lots of congratulatory vibes (two marriages this week alone; y'all are impressive).
I finally got through to the nursing recruiter I'd interviewed with and arranged for a follow-up interview with a manager on a general med-surg floor on Monday. That she didn't dismiss me outright after my horrible (IMO) initial interview is something to be happy about, but I do wish I'd been able to meet with one of the managers from a neurology floor. Thing is, this hospital pays less than hospitals in NYC and the nurses aren't unionized. I'm half-convinced the lack of unionization allows for pay differences depending on where in the hospital one works, so general med-surg would pay less than neuro or oncology or an ICU (not that I'm interested in the latter two). I shouldn't count my eggs and all that jazz until after the interview (which I'm not confident about at all, btw) but I do hope I get into the other place I have lined up to interview for on Thursday. I have heard not-too-promising things about the turnover and the staffing there *but* the pay is stupendous and the union benefits look great. Meh. I'm counting again.
This weekend there will be lots of studying and job searching, with the occasional panic attack. Goody goody.
There's some lovely weather this evening. Crisp autumn nights are only beat by lightly snowing winter evenings in my book.
