2nd Interview

I am so excited and frustrated at the same time. I went to the interview today not sure what to expect. I was really hoping to the the job I applied for yesterday but now this one seems so interesting! I would LOVE to work in a surgical unit!!!!!!!! It's for Special Procedures (out patient services). I didn't think I would like it but I got more and more interested as I went. When she asked me if I had any questions I just stared at her and said "Well I want to know if I could have a tour of the area." It was so neat to see all of the equipment that I've seen before in hospitals and now I know what it's all for. Now these areas are the areas that people usually don't remember because it's the operation and recovery area but I had these partial memories from being there 2 times before - well actually in ICU but it's the same stuff. Then as I was coming out I saw these two other ladies that work there and when they found out I was interviewing they both complimented me and told them I was a great worker/volunteer. The one lady said "you can't ask for better than her". One of the ladies is the manager of the medical unit I really want to work at but she is not interviewing until 12th. That is probably way too long for me to wait. I stuck around after my interview and listened to the advice of the other people working there regarding the best place to start working as a CNA. I should hear soon about these two jobs and then I have about 4 other jobs I applied to. I think if I got the 1st job I couldn't pass that up. 3 12 hour shifts a week just can't be beat plus it's the best money. UGH, it's just so hard to decide! I WANT a good job that pays well and has good hours but I also NEED experience in a broad range of procedures with all types of people and age groups. The first job is everything I WANT but not really what I NEED! I just have to trust God to show me which direction to go.

The woman I interviewed with today seemed very impressed with me even though she said they usually don't hire people right out of school with no experience. She said it's hard to even take someone from other areas of the hospital because there is so much involved. It's a hard position to fill because of the hours (11 - 7:30pm M-F) plus it's a hard and fast paced job. So I don't really think I will get that one but it felt really good to hear how interested she was in me. She said she was impressed by my energy and interestin learning. She also said they usually don't even consider CNA's right out of school but she said I was "more mature" than most new CNA's. THAT'S BECAUSE I'M OLD! LOL Most people don't suddenly decide to become a CNA at the age of 35 and 10/12ths. That means there IS hope though. Just a GLEAM.
So either way I see it as a blessing because people at the hospital talk to each other, especially people who are interviewing the same person. I have some good people saying good things about me and that makes me feel so blessed.
