I went to the Job Fair/interview yesterday afternoon. It was interesting to say the least. It was a room set up with something like 100 managers from practically each & every nursing department in all of their hospital locations. It tended to be a little distracting with so many people talking all around me. It was more like a semi-interview as opposed to a real interview. I spoke with people from the flex pool as well as someone from the mother/baby unit. She seemed to really like me. Gotta love the interview questions, right? "Tell me about a time when you participated in teamwork." Or "Tell me when you went above & beyond for a patient." Anyways, it ended with the lady from mother/baby telling me she'd speak with her manager & that she would see me soon. She asked how soon I could start, etc.
Of course I came home last night & reflected on the possible direction change of my career. What do I know about taking care of mothers & babies? Absolutely nothing! It's a good opportunity though. So if they are offering, I will accept. Time will tell.

Hi,
I actually came across one of your posts at allnurses.com when I was searching for stethoscope-related info. I'm in my 3rd semester of a BSN program in Northern California and I just thought it was cool you have this journal about nursing here. So you've been out of nursing school for a year? What departments have you been working in and how do you like it? I'm still undecided about my future BUT I get the impression that doing Med-surg for 6 months-one year is a good foundation for all over specialties.. would you agree?
Hyo
