First Interview

I have really dropped the ball with my blog!  I have been busy doing nothing!!  haha  I and trying to enjoy this in between time.  I know it will be a long, long time before I am ever in this spot again.  I am taking advantage by staying up late, watching reality tv, cooking, napping, hanging with my new sister-in-law, and trying to get back into the sport of running.  The goal is to run a 15k in April with Helene.

In other news, I now have the time to get things done I have been putting off.  This included FINALLY going to the doctor to have my big toe looked at.  I assumed I had arthritis and it seems I was right.  I had x-rays done earlier this week and the x-ray confirms what the doctor suspected.  Unfortunately, I need to follow-up with a podiatrist to rule out a possible fracture.  What the what?  I have no memory of hurting my foot/toe.  I have that appointment scheduled in two weeks.  In the meantime, I have a new pair of running shoes and I need to go get some inserts to wear to hopefully help the chronic pain I have in my toe.  Awesome.

This morning I also had my first nursing interview!!  I was, of course, so nervous.  I have known about this for a few weeks.  I went suit shopping with my parents and my aunt and uncle when they were all in town for Erik and Helene's wedding.  I have been going through practice questions.  I think Jackson is more prepared than me to go on nursing interviews ;)  He has been listening to me talk to myself the last few days.

This interview was for a hospital near me but for med-surg.  I wouldn't say I completely dislike med-surg, but it's not one of my top choices.  Of course, I start playing the what if game and causing unnecessary panic.  I need to take Erin's advice and to take everything as is comes and not play the what if game.  Deep breaths.  Overall, I think I had a very successful first interview.  I felt confident in my answers, I was given positive feedback and was some how able to keep my voice from cracking!  I think I will hear back sometime next week.

I have sent my resume out to a couple other contacts I have.  I am hoping something pans out from this as well.  If anything, I would like to practice interviewing some more :)  On the other hand, I would be ok with no more interviews!  They stress me out!
