Add another hospital to my resume

My interview went wonderful!  I got the job.  So did Gina.  We'll be working on the same unit/same floor.  In fact, the manager seemed pleased that we work well together & has no problem if we want to work the same nights.  How refreshing!  We both will be working PRN/per diem & the starting rate is $31/hr plus differential.  I can't believe it!  9 months out of nursing school & we'll be making over $40/hr.  The floor is similar to PCU where we're at now.  It's considered a cardiac floor but it consists of telemetry, post-surgical patients (non-cardiac) & overflow of med-surg.  We each get our own laptop/cart with meds in it.  The floor always has at least 2 techs.  The scheduling is pretty flexible, they pay us to take ACLS (mandatory) & other classes if we want.  It's just amazing how different it is compared to where we're at now.  I cannot wait to see what it's like.  I go back Monday to go over all of the necessary paperwork plus get my photo ID.  Then they'll give us more info regarding orientation & scheduling.  We should have done this sooner!

Now the hard part - approaching the hospital we're at now & getting them to be flexible with our needs.  Ideally I still want to remain there part-time in order to keep my benefits & to not burn any bridges.  I am checking out getting my own health insurance policy & simply going per diem at both hospitals.  That seems like the best option for me.  However, until that is set up, I need to remain part-time in order to keep my health insurance.  I'll make the call tomorrow & see what happens (fingers crossed). 

I'm going out tonight to celebrate with William.  It's his 40th birthday also...so a double celebration!!!
