Mike's New Job!


Mike got a job at the hospital!!!! We are very excited! Mike heard in class that they had 4 postitions available. They really wanted to hire someone from his class because they really like all the students in his class. So, they told them all to apply. Mike did and he got a phone call for an interview about a week later. He went in for his interview and was really nervous. He had no idea what to expect. He came home and wasn't that excited. He didn't feel like he did very good in the interview. We weren't really counting on a call back. Then one day when he was at his clinicals, one of the guys hiring came and got him and asked him a few questions. Mainly wanted to know what his plans were for the future and if he was planning on sticking around. A few weeks later people in his class started getting emails that they didn't get the job. That was on a Friday. He never got an email. We couldn't help but start to get our hopes up at this point. He was texting everyone in his class trying to narrow it down who was left. There were 3 of them that hadn't gotten an email. We talked about him getting the job all weekend. Monday I get up and go to work and about a half hour after I get there I get a phone call from Mike. He tells me he got the job!!! It was very unexpected but we were really excited too. It's just a PRN (as needed) position. We weren't sure how we were going to work this out with me working and the kids. Well, it ends up that most of the shifts are nights and weekends. That works out good. He had his first shift March 25th. He said it was so busy but it was a lot of fun being on his own. This is a great opportunity for Mike to get his foot in the door and get some experience. Hopefully it'll pay off and when he finishes school, he'll be able to get a full time job. Isn't he amazing? He thinks he bombs the interview and he gets the job!
