so, i am not sure how many of you are aware but i got a new job yesterday. it is in the same health care system, just will be for a different manager. it will be called per diem, which means i can work when i want and as much or as little as i want. i have tried to get my current boss to let me switch to this position on the floor. she said, it takes time, i will try to get to it. this was over three weeks ago, in the interim, she also emailed me to see if i could orient the new grads. i said sure, just let me know when. since then she has not gotten back to me. it has been over 2 weeks and i have emailed her multiple times. i have also emailed her right-hand person to try to get some answers. i know, you are thinking, why didn't you call her? she is the kind of person who things need to be in writing or they did not happen. anyway, i even emailed her to see when she would need me to orient, nothing in response. so i emailed HR and they had a job that was perfect for me. i can work any where in the hospital, whenever i want to. i went to the interview yesterday and it was great. the boss seems awesome and she told me i was hired. HR called me today to tell me that they would be calling my old boss to get a reference. SO, to my point, my old (current) boss just called and said "HR just called me(my boss) and i (once again this is the boss talking) am a little confused." I said, you have not gotten back to me in over 2 weeks. she said, well, i was on vacation. okay, that may be, but i know for a fact that both you are your right-hand person were not both gone. (of course I did not say this) i just said, i think that this job will be great for me, i can work all over the hospital. she said, oh whatever, and that was it. i don't know why i care, i am a lot like jenny and let people walk all over me. i really want this new job, but i feel like i am letting old boss down. thanks for letting me vent. i am just so excited about this new job and then she has to call and get me upset.

i keep logging on, the suspense is killing me.

i think we should go. she might want a bunch of professional brides around!

thanks for that, i cannot imagine consummating my marriage in front of everyone there, yuck!

i saw her show in orlando last year and it was awesome! i wish i could go again. she is so great!

you look so beautiful! you cake looks awesome! can't wait to see more!

what about charm world? this is where i got a bunch. good luck!

I love my job! For the most part! I have been a nurse for 3 years. I work on a icu step-down floor. Our pts are sometimes on ventilators with tracheostomies. This is the hardest but most rewarding part. Some of our pts never get better and leave with their trachs. Others, who you think are not going to make it, end up leaving without the trach and going home. it is amazing! Some of our pts are there for a long time and you get attached to them. One of the worst parts of the job is when you are helping to clean an incontinent pt for the 10th time that shift and the pt is mean to you. it is one thing if they have dementia and do not know what they are saying. if they are flat out rude to you and you have been busting your butt to keep them clean, i want to scream! there are so many amazing things about this job, i met a ton of great friends, i learn something new every day, i make amazing money, i get to learn about people's lives 80 years ago. you do not have to go to a 4 yr school. there are programs with hospitals that are only 2 years long. there are also some excellerated programs that are only 18 monts. I say go for it. you can always find work!

oh abbie! I love it! it is awesome!

i work with a girl who named her twins kobe and allen.

i did it in about 6 months. once you have a location booked, the hard part was over. i pretty much let the resort do everything.

good, i just never learned how to parallel park. the city makes me nervous but now that i have GPS it is better!

is it near parking? i don't do parallel parking!

i got the job! I got the job! I got the job! YAY and it's all because my BDW friends told me to wear dress pants. well maybe not the only reason, lol

YAY! I would totally do this! Count me in! We could go to the melting pot for drinks and dessert? But that is in King of Prussia, will you be in the city or what? Maybe carly and jacky will want to join us! YAY!

Thanks! talk to you guys later! oh my nerves!

okay, ladies, i have dress pants on. happy now? lol!

i knew that you guys were going to say that but it was worth a try. i hate dressing up. too bad i am not scheduled to work right after, then i could just wear scrubs!

I have an interview today, at the hospital where I already work, just a different department for a different nursing job. Is it bad to wear capris to the interview? thanks for your advice!

congrats, morgan! you looked amazing!

i think that by the time the ceremony will be done and everything, you are right, lighting will not be great. i had my wedding at 4 and by the time the ceremony was over and pics were done, the sun was getting very low. i think 4 is a better choice.

that's awesome! can't wait to see pics!

So, i went to the dr today and i do not have lyme dz, i have mono! I am so exhausted all the time! that is my vent of the day.

i am thinking about your family and praying for you guys. it is okay that you are feeling the way that you are. it does not make you a bad person. those feelings are normal. good luck!

okay, i just asked on Yahoo where the have the question part. someone said clearasil works really well and someone also said about a frozen spoon. good luck!
