I've been a traveling nurse for 19 years now, and am a couple weeks off completing an Interim Management contract in Salinas, CA which was a head-banger. After two weeks of R&R in Ft. Worth, TX I have accepted another contract, this time just as a traveling staff nurse for the OR in Mesa, AZ!
Starting in just a week, and excited to be heading back to AZ where I can enjoy my beloved Southwest desert for at least three months. Since I'll be doing 12-hour day shifts, only three a week, I'll have 4 days off each week, and plan to resume my workout regime regularly again, work on my tan, and explore parts of SW Arizona I didn't have time for the last time I worked in that area a few years ago.
My new boss sounds intelligent...she didn't ask stupid questions like whether I could still take care of patients after doing management for nearly three years, and she had the good sense to interview me within a few hours of receiving my profile, given the extensive amount of experience I have posted on my resume. If she lives up to my impression of her, we should have a great contract...so I'm eager to get started.
Will let you know how my first week goes in another couple weeks, and see where this leads.
