I'm Stoked!

On Monday I was formally offered a graduate nursing position in the Accident and Emergency Department of Logan Hospital. I was offered one of four positions, from about 350 applicants!

I had also been verbally offered a graduate position in the A&E of Redlands Hospital, as well as a graduate position in Theatre at Greenslopes Hospital. I took Logan Hospital, as I eventually want to go into RFDS Flight Nursing, and will need to have critical care experience in A&E and ICU, as well as a midwifery cert. Redlands only has an HDU, not an ICU, so I figured I might as well do it all at the one hospital! Also, Logan Hospital will probably provide a broader learning environment, as they get trauma as well as medical.

I am stoked! I finally feel that all my hard work for 6 years, studying and working has paid off!

On the bad side though, I went for a brief ride on Sunday up Mt Tamborine and back. Too much time writing assignments and working makes for a very rusty motorcycle rider!

That's fantastic news Esie... Congratulations and well done.

That's wonderful news, Anne!! Well done and all the best for your new career

Onya Esie, I bet you can't wait to get to working a normal job with a set roster & no studying.

Nice work Esie, congrats!

Congrats on the job hope you enjoy
