I think i'm ready to get back in the game again. The working as a nurse game, that is. Keegen doesn't need me quite as much as he used to (which was 24/7). He's eating solids and not nursing as often. It's been a year since i've worked and I feel rusty. I need to get going again before it's been so long that I'm too scared to go back. I do have mixed feelings. I really am grateful that I can stay home with the kids. I do recall though that when I have worked in the past I came home with a better perspective. It helped me appreciate being home and being a mom and all of that. It could be a nice change of pace, an opportunity to have adult conversations and be appreciated by outsiders. I also remember, though, dreading going into work but then being just fine once i got there. I am only looking to work weekends and occasional evenings. That way, for the most part, Doug can be home with the boys and childcare shouldn't be an issue.
I'm hoping that by going through an agency I'll be able to figure out what area I want to work in and where. The hospitals here don't interest me at all. I'm not interested in going back to labor and delivery. High-risk antepartum would be OK. Same day surgery would be perfect but
that's typically a M-F day shift gig.
So it was a very different kind of "interview." It was mostly a "what do you want to do, when are you available" kind of conversation. It was memorable, too, in that it was my first interview that the interviewer had her radio on. Shakira's "These Hips Don't Lie" was shakin' the boombox. Ooooh ya! I think the rest of the business world should consider using that in their interviewing process, too.
I'm nervous but excited to start this new phase!
