Interview news...

So I had my interview today. I was surprisingly not very nervous at all. I guess because the actual interview was held in the HR dept at the main hospital where I work now, so I was in my comfort zone still. I went into it with the perspective that I was doing some interviewing myself to get a better feel for what this new urgent care center will be like. I'm encouraged because its goal is to function like a free standing ER so there is still potential to get seriously ill patients and use some of my critical care skills. *bonus* My benefits and vacation would definitely transfer, YAY! And they still plan to emphasize the warm caring atmosphere and camaraderie that the main hospital departments exemplify. I really believe that the nursing staff where I work stand out above the rest and wouldn't want to loose that. Overall it went very well.

Sooo....I requested to tour/shadow at the *potential new job* to make sure the environment and staff seem agreeable before I toss 9.5 years in my comfort zone out the window. And it sounded pretty definite that I would have a second interview as well, not sure if it would be that same day or later, but this one would be a panel of 3 people. UGH....THAT does make me a bit nervous. So I have some more praying/contemplating to do, but I think I may be in for a big job change!!

Am I crazy to WANT to work every Fri/Sat/Sun 3pm-11pm? Will that drive me nuts? Three eight hour shifts ending at 11ish just sound better than 2 overnight shifts me. Its one more night a week I won't put my kids to bed, but I'll be there if they wake up in the middle of the night and won't have to sleep all the next day and/or be as tired and grouchy. At least thats what I'm thinking. Ok, I need to stop obsessing about this, but I just hate making big decisions.
