All of my admissions had substance abuse issues. I always feel comfortable handling such patients. I think chemical dependency really is my niche. I should really pursue that CARN certification...except that I'm not consistently working in a CD/dual program so I don't have the required 2,000 recent hours. Bah.
So I didn't hear anything from the nurse recruiter about my transfer application. As the job listing is still up, I'm guessing that the answer is "Sorry, but no" and they just don't have the courtesy to drop an internal applicant a note. It's a shame...I mean, not responding back to any applicant to tell them "No" is sad. It's really tragic to not even send a rejection note to an internal applicant. Especially since all they need to do to reach me is look my name up in the employee directory and click Send Mail. How much easier can that get?
It's also surprising that I haven't heard back from this nurse recruiter who happens to usually be quick to get back to me even if she has no good news.
Oh well. Upward and onward. If and when a new posting for the job appears, I'll try again. I'll resume the holding pattern for now.
Meanwhile, the manager at the program I was working at today was asking me questions out of the blue about whether I liked working per-diem, was I working anyplace else, what my plans were...I think they were trying to feel me out for something. Who knows? It really was random...then again, it was before my first cup of coffee so maybe I'm reading something into it that isn't there.
Anyhow...
I'm getting ready for a long-overdue vacation. I'm going East for a week. It's not going to be a stress-free trip--it's more like we're going back to the motherland because it's fulfilling family obligations--but it'll still be nice. Then when we return here, I have the next week off (though I did commit to one day of work). Then if I want, another week off unless I schedule myself...which is my choice, as then I'm booked at jobs #1 and #3 from mid-August through mid-September.
