Update: My seven month journey in ICU has ended

7 This was the thread I posted a few weeks ago. http://allnurses.com/nurse-colleague...th-797265.html

Since then, I have been applying for my dream job along with jobs I think my experience will match. I have a pending job offer for ER and an interview for an CVICU position at a large teaching hospital next week.

Tomorrow I have, an interview for my DREAM job, which is mother/baby on a post partum unit.

Please say a prayer for me y'all. Obstetrics has ALWAYS been my passion. My personality is just not the ER or ICU type.I pray I get this job!!!!
Praying you get the job!! Maternal nursing is very rewarding, but has its own stressors. Hope it works out for you!

So glad that you've had so many opportunities!

Onlybyhisgracern- good luck and congratulations! I read your last post and am impressed you had te courage to step away and rethink what you wanted. No matter what happens tomorrow, you are on your way to the career you want. Let us know how it goes!!

May your interview be smooth, may your hairspray hold, may you blind your interviewers with your brilliance. It's great that you have such a passion for this area of nursing--your excitement is literally palpable and contagious. Absolute best of luck to you!

You got it! And the best to you in your new role!

Best of luck!!

Wishing you the best for your interview! Value yourself and let it show in your interview. If you have some time and care to do it - consider how you might answer some interview questions. My interview for my dream job, which I love, I took notes with me to help me in my interview (I'm someone who does better preparing like that). But I am sure you will do well! People look at the time I spent at my first job and talk about how badly it looks in terms of work history. Not true - I learned a great deal about nursing, patient care and the type of coworker I want to be (I had two coworkers I could trust the others, forget about it). Don't lose site of the stuff you learned, especially the coworker interaction side of things, it will help you no matter what direction life takes you.

Thanks everyone. My Recruiter rescheduled my interview for next week . I was so ready to interview tomorrow, so that way I can cancel the interview I have next week for another ICU.Oh, well more time to prepare.... I guess.

Best of luck! I have been a critical care nurse for over 10 years, but feel my personality and interests also lie with maternity. My problem is, I can't get a job in that area! I hope it works out for you.
