Good things come to those who wait

Well, the job hunt was frustrating but like the title says, good things come to those who wait.  I had applied to over 400 jobs since I graduated in May and only recieved a handful of interviews after the end of August.  While thinking about it, it was not a bad thing because I was able to go to Miami and meet my boyfriends family and have a much needed vacation, and go to Camp, which many of you know is what I love about August.  
My first interview came in the beginning of August and it was for a residency program at Children's Hospital of Detroit.  I made it through the first round of interviews, and the lady told me I would have no problem getting hired.  Yeah, thanks for the false reassurance.  After the first interview, your file gets passed onto the unit managers and they pick who they want to interview.  Why didnt they just interview in the first place?!?  Well I was called and told since they are Magnet status they were pursuing BSN students.  Go right ahead then with those BSN grads, I am already in my RN-BSN completion program and I guess it wasnt my niche to be working there. (what I dont get is what seperates us, we learned the info and took the same NCLEX yet we only had 2 years to prepare, and they have four, seems like they have it easier)  Anyways!!!
My second interview was for a school nurse position and I was offered the position right away, it was nothing like I imagined.  Yes the pay was awesome, 26 dollars an hour to sit in a chair in case a trach falls out.  Sounds great huh? For those who cannot keep up on the floor or do not have as much energy as I do.  Not a job for a new grad who is hungry for blood and guts!
Finally we get to where I am today!  I interviewed with a home health care agency.  Halfway into nursing school many people were trying to tell me to do HHC and I said NO WAY!  The more people talked about it, the better it sounded so I said why not, if they are the only one willing to trust me then so be it, it is experience.  I loved the manager, she offered me a position right away, which she said she doesnt usually take new grads but I have some great clinical unit experience (THANK YOU MERCY). Then I got to meet the owner who is a cute lil Indian guy, who is named "Father" he is a priest or leader of some church, who is all about us being a family.  I start next week following the manager to her first visit, and then I get to complete her second and third visit.  
The next day I went to interview at Henry Ford Main Oncology Department.  I fell in LOVE!  The manager was awesome, interviewed me in scrubs, flip flops, and swore and cracked jokes the whole time.  So comforting and she was a lot like me, energetic and happy.  She took me on a tour of the unit, we went back to her office and she asked if I wanted a job.  Of course I did, but she mentioned she had more interviews that day.  I told her let me know when shes completed the interviews and I would love to work there and she said well im hiring you right now, Ive only done this once before and just hired someone on the spot but I like you and you present yourself in a professional manner and got along with people I introduced you to.  CHA CHING!!!!!  Hard work pays off!  
It is going to be great, I will work 3 shifts of midnights and then have 1-3 patients for one day a week visits for Home Health Care (the visits only last 45 min) on one of my days off, then I still have 3 days a week off (which you all know me, I cant be bored so ill probably pick up more HHC patients).  The benefits at Henry Ford are amazing, couldnt ask for better.  
So now its time to begin adult life....career...wonderful boyfriend...great family.  I am truly blessed and have to say, "whats meant to be will always find a way."
