The transfer was an interesting process. They talked to my supervisor first, had me fill out paperwork next, then gave me an interview. After I signed the transfer paperwork. The whole process really did go in reverse.
Weird.
So I'm transferred to the float pool at job #1. And to be honest, absolutely nothing has changed. Same old stuff, different job title with better pay. Mind you, I did already screw up with staffing...twice. Both times were unintentional and in all innocence, but still, not the way I would have preferred to start my new position.
Meanwhile, job #2 has some drama going on...I'm not involved, thank heavens, and I'll leave it at that. I do have to throw them some days soon, though. Maybe later in the month.
Meanwhile, job #3 is wondering if I would be interested in orienting to their chemical dependency unit. It was all I could to to not throw myself at them screaming "God, yes!" I need to call their program manager tomorrow to try to set something up. If this parlayed into something full-time down the road, I could die happy. Working in addictions...*sigh*
No word on the psych ER position. I've pretty much written it off. This is just not my time...perhaps down the road.
In other news, all week my patients were pleasant psychotics. They're my favorite. They're seeing the floating mushrooms and hearing the squirrels talk about baseball, but they're all so mellow about it...at times even chipper. One has a party going on in his head 24/7, but he's not bothered by it. In fact, he told me, "it's all part of the schizophrenia." I had to respect his attitude.
