So, I'm just sharing, and hoping not to jinx anything.Have actually had 3 really, really good in person job interviews - the last2 taking 2, to 2.5 hours. There was also another 90 min one a couple ofweeks ago - but, I think my "overqualification" was a bit for that job - whoknows.Anyhow - as life is crashing around us due to situations - I actually gotthe first solid offer yesterday. YEAH - light at end of tunnel. But, Itold them I need some days to make a decision. This one is in a big medpractice with urgent care - and only 4.5 miles from houseNow, on Monday I get to call the recruiter who set-up job 2 - as that seemedreally nice - in a surgical practice - I'd be the "nursing" staff - it's asatellite office attached to hospital near me - but the group is large andhas main office about 13 mi from house, while I'd be at the nearer - about5-6 miles. 2 admin folks in the office, and one surgeon at a time - only 3docs practice out of that office, and I know 2 of them from my working inthe ED. So, interesting - they're concerned I might be "bored" or notchallenged enough. Anyhow - going to spend a bit of time observing in theoffice - though I think the recruiter guy is going to push a bit - honestly- I need to know the $$. And they give you really cute scrubs.... Firstplace - which would be more challenging, bur - they give you 1 lab coatthing, and pants, then discount for more.Third - most amazingly interesting - one of those jobs that you wonder "howdo you get that?" is working for the regional transplant consortium. Hmmm.Totally interesting - months of special training - very rewarding, though aswe discussed - I'm sure emotionally a bit stressful. Hence, they've donewell with paramedic/EMTs and ER/ICU nursing people taking these jobs.However - it's an "on-call" kind of job (full-time, casual hours requirementfor in the office - can avoid traffic hours - office is about 23 miles) -on-call about 12 days/month (24 hr). They asked me to talk over with...
