I have a Registered Nurse position!

I have a nursing job! Today the nursing director of Mercy Medical Center's Women's and Children's floor called to say they have essentially created a position for me in spite of the hiring freeze. I am to be trained as a Cesarean Section Scrub Tech as well as a Registered Nurse working with postpartum, newborns and pediatric patients. I am thrilled! I hoped to stay with Mercy--a faith based hospital but had begun applying for positions at two other area hospitals.

Interestingly this hodgepodge position will provide me with a wider skill base than had I obtained the labor and delivery position I hoped for.

I will gain surgical knowledge, be training in pediatric care, newborn assessment and care, and postpartum care all before learning Labor and Delivery (the most intensive position to learn in all of Women's and Children's'). This shows that God is looking out for me and knows what I need much more than I do. Why do I ever doubt Him?
