Another Interview
This interview was at another huge Dallas hospital system..for one of thier ICU's. It sounds like a great place to learn alot...learn how to take care of sick sick folks. Folks that my lil home town hospital would ship off. 2 patients to 1 nurse ratio. 4 beds in one room with two nurses, who become each others' buddy for the night.
This interview was on a sunday night because it is for a weekend job that pays like it's full-time. Great!
Interviewed with two women, Crazy woman and Cool woman. Cool woman was late 20's early 30's. Very down to earth. Can tell she likes to have fun at work and that she's very intelligent. Crazy has apparently taken one too many crazy pills and is off the handle tonight. Crazy is a staff nurse and Cool is a charge nurse.
The interview starts out with the typical review of the resume, getting to know you kinda stuff. Then I tell them that I am moving to Dallas for the job because i KNOW it's eating at them inside to ask me but they can't legally ask me. I ask them about what the biggest problem they have with new grads. Crazy goes off on the first of ten tangents. She says that communication is key here. She says that you should always be communicating, asking questions of, and helping your buddy. She goes on and on saying the same thing over and over. She's driving me nuts. She driving the Cool nurse nuts...she's going over board. Cool is trying not to laugh and rolling her eyes, I'm trying not to piss her off. It was tough!
And I know I'm going to hell for writing this but there was a giraffe in the room. Crazy had some crazy eyes to go with! Both were not looking at me. Very distracting. Usually it's one looking at you and you can focus on it but oh no, not here. She was driving me insane. I should get the job for just having to focus on her forehead for an hour instead of her eyes.
During the many tangents about communication I tried to get a word in edgewise. They flat out told me that new nurses suck at meds. So I told them that I thought I'd be an exception to that rule with my pharmacy background. Crazy starts to quiz me on meds......I win. She didn't look at my resume and see the 8 years of pharmacy expirence did she? Oh no. So I aced her quiz.
Wrapping up the interview that was supposed to last 20 minutes but went over an hour......Cool nurse and I were joking...and I asked if there were going to be any guys in the unit to even out the estrogen in the room........and Crazy responds "Yeah there are a few guys. And don't worry, they aren't the feminine type either!" as she flops her wrist down to make the 'gay hand' gesture. I was in shock..and so was Cool nurse.
Oh well...there are going to be nuts everywhere..

Yeah, I guess Crazy knows that most male nurses are fags. Right Rusty?...... Right??
Sounds like Ms. Crazy needs her meds adjusted. If you get the job will you get to spend a lot of time with her?
