I was recently informed that once of the technicians at the clinic is moving to Decorah and transferring to the vet clinic there. I was sad when I heard the news, and I'm going to miss her a lot. However, this means that there will be an opening for a full-time technician. I was approached a couple weeks ago about being full-time as a patient coordinator (receptionist), and I accepted this offer with great enthusiasm. After all, how can I say no to more money and more hours with the economy the way it is?
Yesterday, I was approached again by the boss and technician supervisor. Jokingly, I thought that I was in trouble. Of course it was just the opposite. I was receiving a type of promotion. Instead of becoming a full-time pc, I will be a full-time technician! And I will be entering the normal rotation! Starting in April, I will be with a doctor. I am so excited! But there is a little part of me that is scared. Since I haven't been out of school for very long, I'm still somewhat intimidated and not very comfortable with anesthesia. Luckily, I will have some time to get used to it, but we'll see if I'm ever fully comfortable. Either way, I will now be full-time. Not very many people can say that they were hired on at the clinic where they interned AND immediately after. So many of my friends are still looking for jobs after interning. I got lucky. Now let's just hope I don't mess it up.

That is AWESOME! What a relief for you. Again, I wouldn't say it is luck because you worked for it. And yes, it is okay to be a little scared. Everyone is scared when they are starting something new. Dad was nervous when he started selling cars; I was beyond scared the first time I taught a classroom alone. It is good to be scared and nervous. It shows you want to do well and that you know you have things you still need to learn. Just take it one day at a time and look at each day as a learning experience.
