No, I didn't lose 40 pounds! Hell, I still haven't even lost 30! Actually, not even 25! I found a different bariatric doc down here, but he wants a $400 "program fee". Such B.S., really, because again when I asked what the "program fee" covered, it was all the typical pre-op stuff....you know, the stuff that I've already been through and done? So it looks like I'll be going to the guy that only rips me off for $250...when I get a job.
Yep, that's that the 4-0 stands for. 4 job interviews, one which was 3.5 hours long. Still no job offer. The most recent interview was for a company that is contracted by the state's Department of Juvenile Justice. I am disouraged and I am pissed. I am an outstanding nurse and any place I applied would be lucky to have me. You know why? Because I work my ass off, do the jobs usually of 3 people, and do it well! My patients love me...which in turn, reflects positively on the company I work for. It's not that I do this on my own though, this is what God has chosen for me to do in life...and that is why I rock at it. Which makes it hard right now to have the faith and trust in Him that I know I should. If He gave me this Spiritual gift, then why isn't He letting me put it to good use?!
So I'm still sending out resumes, but tomorrow I'm heading to all the local restaurants to apply for waitressing jobs. Hell, at this point, I'll even flip burgers at McD's. Would you like fries with that?
sorry you're having a rough time of it here lately. just keep telling yourself THINGS WILL GET BETTER! good luck on your interviews :)
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for an offer from one or all of these interviews!!! I am positive you will get a job soon! <3
ReplyDeleteI am shocked about you not getting a job offer yet! I remember telling you before you moved here that there were tons of nursing jobs. I feel awful for you. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you! I would love to get together sometime....please email me at johnvickie.hamrick@gmail.com. Maybe we could meet for lunch :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the job hunt - I know it can get you down.
ReplyDeleteThose program fees are BS.
Good Luck with the Job Hunt! My surgeon has a $1000 admin fee... So that was tough. but he's an incredible surgeon. Are you self-pay? I was insurance... I had co-pays for the hospital nights which I pay a little each month on... but besides that just the $30 co-pays each month to the doctor for my follow ups. The first 90 days, I didn't even have to pay the $30 but now I do. It can be pricey, but I couldn't put a price tag on my health, and again, my insurance paid almost all of it. I don't know how these self-pays do it...Expensive! It's why so many have to fly out of the country to get their surgery done. *Maria*-Blogger from "This one time at BAND Camp..."
