So I got a job offer today! What a great feeling.. an option. The position is for a telemetry unit which is great since that is what my background has been in. It is for a great company that has acquired several hospitals since Katrina and is doing well in this faltering economy. The only draw back is that it is for their Baton Rouge campus. This would mean a 1 hour drive 3 days a week. The benefit of doing this with such a large group is that if I couldn't stand the drive I could always transfer to a closer facility. I am still waiting to hear from several other hospitals I have interviewed with over the last 2 weeks which are closer to home. Hopefully the options and decision will be clear to me in the next few days, but of course passing my board's exam is the real hurdle ahead.
