Some VERY good news!!

[NoahsMommy]

Well, family. I was offered a job this morning! :)

Long story short, I was interviewed on Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. for an in-patient admitting position at a local hospital.

I got a call at 8:01 this morning from the HR department offering me the position.

Of course, I have to pass my background check and a basic physical (basically to make sure I'm not a druggie) first. But, I'm confident that I'll begin with the Orientation on Monday, September 26th! :)

Its a job with FULL benefits (YIPPEE!!!), I'll work 6:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. While I'm not typically a morning person, this works splendidly for my return to school! Its in the same town my parents and grandmother live in and my current school...which is an added bonus! I'll be cross training in the ER (YAY!!!) and their outpatient/surgical/cancer center. Once I’m fully trained, I’m able to cover for staff in those areas…which is highly exciting to me.

I'm very excited. I adore my new boss and feel very, very positive about this new chapter of my life.

The hospital is a Christian one, is in the process of a massive overhaul and will be an amazing learning tool for me. I'll see how hospitals are run first hand, learn all about other departments, get to meet with patients, doctors and staff...etc, etc, etc! I'm so happy about this! :)

I seemed to have made an impression on my new manager as well. I interviewed Tuesday and she told me she was still interviewing a few more candidates and would let me know on Friday. I guess I won out because of the short time frame she called me in. I even had to change my "thank you for your time and consideration" note to a "thank you for this wonderful opportunity!" note. ;)

Thank you ALL so much for your constant/continued prayers for me. I know they've helped me in a million ways...and I'm so grateful.

Just wanted to update you, my family.

Love, Kelly :)

P.S. This was an amazing day. My mom took it off and we had planned to hang out together. Once I told her of the good news, we went to Chicos (LOVE that store) and she bought me some new outfits to start my new life. We got mani/pedis and had a lovely "girlie" day. :) Yay for moms!!!

It won't be long before you see an 80 year old man's rear in one of those neat hospital gowns, don't laugh and don't point.

You will wake up one day and say....

"Honey, can you feed the cats when you get dressed?"

Another good thing is I got a temp job for next week! So that'll be some $$ coming in, which is, you know, a good thing. ;)

I've actually been feeling good Crohn's wise, but I woke up with a cold this morning. Not fun, but otherwise I've been feeling pretty good. :)

I'll keep you all updated as soon as I get the results of my security check and physical.

Hugs,
Kelly :)

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

How exiting Kelly!!! Finally you found THE perfect job for you!! Hurray!!I am sorry I didn't see this great news sooner..., but you know the reason, hey

[NoahsMommy]

Thanks again, everyone! :)

I have to admit, its going to be really strange getting up and WORKING. I haven't worked in 3 months!

But it'll be a good thing. :)

The 403 program! I sure will! Thanks for the advice. :)

[K9karen]

May I ask a really stupid question, though? What's the difference between a Christian Hospital and a "non" Christian Hospital? I've had surgeries in both and didn't notice a difference as far as care was concerned. And in both hospitals, I was visited (I guess they do it as a courtesy) by a Christian clergyman as well as a rabbi. Said prayers with both. When my mom died so late at night, there was only a pastor on duty so we all prayed with him at the non Christian hospital. I hope I didn't come off dumb, but I don't know the difference, other than the name of the hospitals.

[PJ's Mom]

I don't know how I missed this big ol' thread, but congrats! This is the beginning of an exciting new chapter of your life. :)

NOT a dumb question at all!! In fact, I asked this in my HR interview and aparently, that's a GOOD question to ask there. She was really pleased. :)

Basically, the care of their patients stems from the belief of compassion and love taught in Christianity. They pray before all meetings and its OK for me to offer to pray with/for any patient I interact with.

In a non-religious hospital, you cannot do that.

I guess by advertising its Christain, that's letting the patients know that.

Here is what is posted on almost every wall there:
