You are reading the blog of one of the newest employees of Sky Lakes Medical Center.

That's right - I got a job as a Discharge Planner. I'm so excited! It was quite the wait (well worth it)...A couple of weeks ago I got a call to do an interview for this position. It was one of those interviews where you walk out feeling like they offered you the job on the spot. They didn't offer it to me on the spot, but I felt soo good about it. I was all smiles that day.

They said they would let me know by Sept. 16 - this day had come and gone. The next day I called wondering what the status was. "We'll let you know next week. We still haven't made a decision." Dang it. So I waited for next week to come...

I gave them a few days and called again. Now I'm thinking they have already hired someone else and just didn't call me to let me know. Wrong-o. They are making some changes in the department and wanted those to be squared away. Tuesday (Sept. 28) they will def. let me know.

Sunday was fast Sunday. I prayed and fasted that I would be happy with whatever happens with the hospital job (I had already turned down a job offer at Head Start. Just didn't get a good feeling about it).

Monday I get a call from HR (not the dept. I will be working in). My heart sinks thinking they are calling me that they have gone with someone else. Wrong-o again. I was asked to come in to do a drug screen test and some paperwork. Good news.

A few people told me that the hospital doesn't ask you to come in and do drug screening unless they're offering you the job. I wasn't going to get my hopes up because there still wasn't an official job offer.

Tuesday I headed to Crater Lake with my mom, aunt and uncle. Of course there was no service! When I finally did get service, my phone picks up a voice mail. Of course there's not quite enough service to actually listen to it. Ahh! Once we get home around 3:45, I listen to it. It's from the lady who interviewed me telling me she had good news.........

I call her back immed. and she offered me the job! :) New Employee Orientation is on Monday, Oct. 4. I'm flyin' high on Cloud 9......
