It's official!!!

I was officially offered the job Thursday afternoon, and I, of course, accepted the job! This morning I went into work with my resignation letter in hand. I was so nervous. I couldn't believe I was quitting a job I love to move 9 hours away to a city, hospital, and job I know little about. My manager was more than understanding. She let me know I had a job if I ever changed my mind. This information was comforting considering I know very little about what I'm getting myself into.
One thing helping to ease my mind is that I won't be doing the traveling alone. My boyfriend, Collin and his dog, Allie, will be coming along too. Collin will be posting his thoughts periodically to give an insider's perspective of someone traveling with a travel nurse.
At this point, I think our biggest challenge will be finding temporary work for him on each assignment. He has already started looking at his options. Some of the available jobs look promising.
We are about 1 week away from our moving date. It's been moved up to July 5th because the apartment office is closed on Sundays. I can't believe it! 1 week!

It's actually going to happen!

I'm Erin. I live in Knoxville, TN. I'm a critical care nurse. I've been a nurse for a little over a year, and I've decided I'm going to take the leap. I want to be a travel nurse! So, I researched the concept and the travel companies and contacted a company a week ago. I spoke to my first hospital today!!! I couldn't believe it all happened so fast! The hospital is in Bel Air, Maryland. It seemed to me that I asked the manager a million questions, and she practically laughed at me when I asked if I would be dealing with a lot of gunshot wounds and stabbings. The job and the area sound perfect for my first assignment. I am so excited, but I only have 2 weeks to prepare. I'm supposed to start July 7th. What does this mean? I have 2 weeks to pack, move my furniture to my parent's house, and say goodbye to all the Knoxvillians that I love! I'll know by the end of today if it is all official. If so, I put in my notice at work tomorrow. I need some major prayers!!!
