Registered Nurse Recruitment Indiana

Fridays for my Service Line are usually just as chaotic as Mondays! I think most people who work Mon – Fri expect Mondays to be a bit trying, but not usually Fridays. I came in looking forward to "winding down" the work week, clearing the piles on my desk, getting things organized and ready for the next week, then maybe spend a little time checking in with my teammates. It seems more often than not though I leave a bit frazzled and sometimes frustrated by people’s lack of planning. There are always "emergencies" that creep up from the lack of planning that now has Friday "staring someone in the face" and the problem that I am supposed to solve "stat!!" I guess this element of my job is really no different than many of my experiences as a former Manager, but the best part is this time it doesn't follow me home with pager and 24-hour accountability.

Everyone wants to master their position. whether it is as a bedside clinician, a Nursing Manager, or at this juncture in my career, as a Nurse Recruiter. I’ve been in this role since January and every month I am feeling more confident, but as is normal in life, no matter how much mastery you feel you have obtained there is always going to be a new "fly in the ointment." My latest fly came on Friday at 3:40pm when I needed to leave at 4:00p to pick up my daughter from day care 37 miles from my office! Needless to say, after another "learning opportunity." I managed to turn off my computer by 4:10p and made it there right at 5:00p - only breaking the speeding laws by 8 miles over the limit. Tee hee.

Just another Friday for me in Nurse Recruitment :)
