Wow. That was quick.

In quite possibly the world's record for shortest employment... I no longer have a job.

Which is probably ok because I no longer feel like I'm going into cardiac arrest just thinking about walking into work. Ok. Not arrest, just Afib. I was about 4 hours from taking myself to the ER after 4 days of this. With the kids. Oh, yeah, and Larry's playing GIJoe, so he's not home.

So, I wrote a long and venty post and deleted it a few hours later. If you missed it, I am sorry, but you didn't really miss anything.

Instead I'm going to write my ISO and focus on the future:
ISO (In search of)A job with the following requirements
1. A supervising physician who has some degree of patience
2. A practice where people don't talk about you behind your back
3. Where they care about the people they see, not only the type of insurance they have
4. Where they have some grasp of reality. Just some. Keeping expectations realistic.
5. Where I'm not the 3rd or 4th NP they've have in the past year to leave under one situation or another.
6. Where they see kids. AND like them.
7. Where they tolerate delayed vaccination schedules for said kids
8. A dr who will willingly supervise the 540 hours CA is requiring so I can be a fully functioning NP.
9. A non-female dr supervising physician. OK. not to stereotype, but some women are bitches. And then there's the whole which-life-is-better debate- is it better to have stayed home with the kids while letting my career rot, or should I have continued to work as a professional. Since I fall in category a and let my career rot, category b is my diametric opposite and may not be accommodating and understanding about the shock of returning to work. And like many things, I can respect their choice, please respect mine.
10. Enough compensation to pay preschool and daycare and have enough left over to give us some financial margin in our life. Or save to retire. Although by definition you have to work to be able to retire from it, no?
11. Where I can set my schedule to fit the needs of my family (aka, leaving at 4) and working 3 days a week with the flexibility to work 4 days once JM is in full day kindergarten.
12. Within 20-30 minutes commute time.

OK. I think I can stop at 12.

Now if only I can find this mystery job...
