Kay, Cheronda, thank you, ladies.

Ceronda, you're right. Being upfront about things from the get-go is the best thing to do. I'm picking it up as a second job. I love our little practice here and don't want to leave it. The hospital needs a staffing coordinator/house supervisor, and they're willing to accept my kooky schedule. I have my son for one week and then he's with my ex-husband for a week. They're willing to have me work only on the week that I don't have my son and coordinate staff from home on the weeks that my son is with me. It's also for night shift, so it doesn't interfere with my current position. Weeks with the baby, I do a staffing check at midnight and again at 5 am. Weeks without the baby, I work at the hospital overnight on the weekends. It's everything I wanted. And in a place with people and procedures I'm familar with. I think they see my work availability as a negative, and then I have Husby's immigration, too. I don't want to ruin it.

Coming at the right time, with the right requirements to match my needs, I can't help but see it as a gift wrapped with a big, pretty bow from God. There are a few other details to smooth out, but humans are like that. Thank you, Lord.

Ah... The last time I worked there I was in nursing school. I was a secretary at the bottom of the chain. Now they want me to coordinate nurses and keep the units staffed and running smoothly. It's amazing how things change with time.

Thank you, ladies, for your support and advice. You brought my senses back to me. I'll know all the details by Friday.

And then it's June. Holy cow!! Can you believe it?!

It sounds like you have a really good set up! I definitely wouldn't leave. One question...WHEN THE HECK DO YOU SLEEP? LOL.

Yeah...I have 2 big folders plus a small one for hubby's interview...he was telling me that it's too much stuff to carry and we probably won't need them. It's kinda heavy too. I was like it's better have everything with you just in case...At least I would be going with him, thank goodness. Because if he's going by himself, he said he will forget one folder or the other...I will make sure to carry everything to the interview!

Good luck and best wishes to you all. I'm so nervous. The other VJ member just got "additional processing" from Hong Kong. I'm so worried....
