Well.... I had a great interview with a VA hospital on the N. Side of Chicago. There are 35 other applicants for one job.... But because I'm a veteran and disabled (hearing damage) I get placed at the top of the list.

The unit manager seemed to really like me and my views on nursing (nothing is beneath me or not my job). She also said that since my file made it through the initial screening process, I'm good to go as far as my conviction is concerned. She was also super impressed that I'm enrolled in two different programs. One to finish my BS and one to become a "Legal Nurse Consultant".

It's a super low stress environment and I think I really need that. Looking back, Every problem I've had has been when the stress level has gotten abnormally high.

Light a candle and say a prayer!!!
