Is No News Good News?
When someone tells you, "no news is good news" has not been waiting for a call, or should I say "the call," from one of many interviews over the last two months.
At last report I was believing that I would be making a decision between the MICU position over the nephrology position. Well, that has not come to fruition. I did, however, make a follow-up call to all whom I have interviewed, only to be told that "we are still in the interviewing process." I guess that is where the no news is good news comes in.
I should not be sour because I truly believe things happen for a reason, and the career for me has to be a lasting one, and when this is all worked out I will definitely reveal it to all of you! But I cannot complain, I am currently teaching for the university, and I find that very rewarding, and nothing strengthens your knowledge base more than junior nursing students challenging you at every turn. This opportunity has encouraged me to return to my textbooks, journals and research articles, allowing me to take my time and actually learn, which is something I was not able to do while in school.
I hope I am not putting out negative vibes, because I am encouraged that within two weeks I will have a job offer (I have found if you put out to the universe specifically what you want, it will happen for you).
I am happy to report next week I have an interview for an Emergency Room NP, and I did have a follow-up interview to an Internal Medicine Physician who is looking to grow his business by using an NP to perform rounds in the hospital setting and seeing patients in the office. The only down side is that he does not offer health insurance as of yet, but he did inform me that he is looking to get a health savings account for the staff.
He has researched the idea of having an NP, he understood the concept of externship for me, reimbursement levels for an NP and all the other advantages I could bring to his practice, and then I told him my salary requirement was $50/hour working anywhere from 8 to 10hours per day four days per week with a possibility to work half a day on Saturday. He informed that he would call me in two weeks so hopefully by next posting I will be able to report my new career!
