Waiting for word

Soooo after an anxiety-provoking, faith-testing few days I finally got the call I have been waiting for. It almost felt like when you are in high school and you're waiting for that cute guy to call. You keep checking your phone ...., nothing , darn ..... Nothing man..... and then the phone rings and the caller idea shows the number you have been waiting for, yes what a glorious feeling. Your heart begins to beat ... "We would love for you to work with us." I try to compose myself and not sound like a completely over excited loon as I cooly accept the offer. Though I am really jumping up and down with excitement. I finally get to work with midwives yay!

I am staying on the same island, but working in a smaller facility, which I have heard has more of a holistic natural approach to delivering babies. I keep toying with the idea of going back to school and becoming a CNM (Certified Nurse Midwife). What a perfect opportunity to work along side CNM's and see how they like what they do. I am very lucky to get this position. I was told by my co-worker that they rarely have travelers at this facility. It just so happens a nurse has to go out on medical leave for a while so there is a need at the same time my current contract is ending. Also it was very nice of my co-worker to put in a good word for me over there. She told her manager I would be a great fit. I am very grateful to her.

What a roller coaster ride! Earlier today I was thinking again how crazy we were to start travel nursing. Every three months my husband and I have to make huge decisions. Do I extend?? No, I really want to move on and see new places and meet new people, but then I am down to the wire with only a little over a week with no job and no home.....
