1 hour later

One hour after writing the blog I finally get a response from one hospital I applied to. The big one...for me anyway. John Hopkins. Oncology so the specialization I want. The problem when you get a job at John Hopkins you stay at John Hopkins. I don't think I want to settle down to one position yet. I want this traveling agency to work out. So I emailed back the answers they wanted and am going to wait for traveling to respond to all my references. However I will take whatever job is offered at this time. Or should I wait for that perfect job. The one that makes me happy to get up in the morning. I knew this would happen. Only when one company is interested do the other companies come a crawling. Oh, well. For all I know I won't get either one and be out. But I am positive I think I will make the traveling position work out.

The new start

          This is the new start, the beginning of the next chapter of my life. I have 2 years of RN experience and I am now trying to get a travel nurse position. I have nothing to hold me in one spot so this seems like a good idea. Who freaking knew it would be  so hard or take so long to get started. I was offered a position in DC, took it moved here from Charleston, SC with only what would fit in my car. I then was told "We are sorry, due to the economic status we are unable to continue with your employment" What the F*. This happened in the first week of July. In the mean time I have been applying to everywhere I can think of with no prospects.
           Travel nursing was then presented to me and I was like okay I can try this. Main criteria are 1. I have no family to tie me 2.I have no job to tie me 3. I am able to fit in or pretend to fit in most places and with most people. This seems like the ideal job for me. Go to a place for 13 weeks, move, stay 13 weeks and then move. Sounds like my childhood.
           I have also been on a weight lose goal from hell. In the last 8 months I lost 60 pounds and in the last 2 months I gained back 10 pounds, pissing me off. I have a goal of losing 50 pounds by Feb 1 and a total of 80 pounds by May 1. 2012. I dispise exercising. No let me rephrase I hate sweat. I love sports and swimming I just dont' want to be sweaty doing it.
         This blog is for me to hold me responible for both getting a job and losing weight. That accountability to myself and no one else part of changing life and habits sucks so here I am.
