Waiting to begin

I have been reading up no postpartum (need to also read up on neonatal assessment). I am so unbelievably excited about being in the unit that I have been wanting.
Besides reading nursing stuff, I have been training for a Super Spring Triathlon. I am really getting into it. It is 400yd swim, 8 mile bike and 1.8 mile run. I have been running already, so I feel good about that, but the swim is killing me and the biking is much harder than I thought (and 8 miles is longer than I thought!!).

It is on September 13th (I hope I am not working!). The first one, I just want to gauge my abilities, but I have been reading up on transitions, swimming/breathing techniques, training schedules and learning to swim in open water.

I hope I can do it!!

I did it!!!

I received a call last Friday, August 5th from Rae to inform me that I got the Versant position in OB!!

I was so, so happy! I just need to get all of my tests and fittings performed and then I start on September 8th. I will do the first 12 weeks in M/S, then the last 6 in OB. I will have the ability to float to M/S, which I feel very good about. I want to keep OB as my hub, but I don't want to lose the abilities learned from M/S.

I am on cloud 9..... yay!

Long time, no write!

So, lots of nothing and everything happening in my life right now, but I will focus on nursing stuff. I had my 3rd interview with Dameron Friday, July 31st. It was supposed to be a 1 hour panel interview, but it ended up being about 12 minutes long. Rae was very kind, speaking highly of me and making it appear as though I had a job. They were explaining the process to me, and any questions I had about how the unit was run were directed to Pam Mahal (the OB manager). I left feeling wonderful. But, then I read a wall to wall from Pam to Carla, that stated I was...... nice. Just like that. Dots and everything. Now I am not so sure.

I was really nervous about it after I read it, but now I have come to realize that if I am supposed to go to that hospital, I will be chosen to go, and if not, then I will need to formulate a plan B. It will be fine either way.

I will keep you posted, of course.....
