So, Jon mentioned that I have pre employement stuff going on.... And I do! I'm excited about it too. When I interviewed for Bronx Lebanon, the nurse manager from the Emergency Department "unnoficially" offered me the position. The nursing recruiter that was helping me out was amazed that they told me that. I'm just good I guess. HahA. I was definitely amazed as well as estatic and terrified all at the same time. I prayed about it. and prayed some more about it. and waited for NYP to call about it.... nothing. I am happy with Bx Leb and I always wanted to be in the ER. It was just a shock to me I guess. All of this waiting and the manager from the ER said, "Let me show you how easy it is to get a job in NYC. Welcome to our team" How funny is that?! He shook my hand and two other nurse managers gave me high fives. It was like something out of Dawson's Creek. So easy.
So, for the last two weeks, I have been gearing up for my new job as an ER nurse:) I've had to take a pharmocology exam, which was a breeze and get a physical done. Drop off paper work and the like. Basically, running around while they do my background checks. I still haven't received my "official" offer yet and I won't get that until next week sometime when they have my blood work and background check wrapped up. I should be able to start my orientation on Septemeber 10th though. Praise God. I never thought as a new graduate I would land a job in the ER. I'm loving life. God always provides and it is such an amazing adventure during the process. I'm still floored that Jon and I have lived here for 3 months without a steady income.
About loving life here, I really do. NYC is amazing. I love the pace and how it's a little dirty around the edges. I love finding the nooks that remind me of home.. the places that are small and have a cozy atmousphere. I like seeing the same group of men sit around and play dominos every afternoon. There are always kids playing on our block... and the teenagers who jam thier music way too loud during the weekdays, but I still love it. There is a different feel in our part of Manhattan. It's definitely not 42nd street times square. Another thing that is amazing... I am not apart of a gym yet, but my cardio is already amazing. Like today for instance, I had to go to Bronx Leb again to get my test read. I had to walk to the end of my block, cross the street then walk two blocks to the platform to the 1 train ( 3 flights of stairs). I took the one train to 168th street and transferred to the C train via an elevator and a flight of stairs. At 145th street, I transferred to the D train which took me into the bronx, but I had to walk 4 more stairs. When I got off the train at 175th street and Grand Concourse, I had to walk 3 blocks to the hospital. And another flight of stairs. New Yorkers who do not have cars have great calves. But I love it. How is that? I like being apart of the race. I think it gives more of an opportunity to really be a blessing to others. So many people are zoned out to whatever is important to them, it gets easy to forget about helping others. Anyway. I will definitely keep you guys posted. Thanks for all of the prayers and support.
lots of love:P
