as of today, that journey is done for me. i accepted a position at a hospital outside of phoenix in their business office doing medical billing. for the 1st 3 months it is actually a "temp to hire" position. i will be working there via the placement agency that connected me to the hospital. this hospital opened about a 18 months ago and is the flagship hospital for a healthcare corporation that has a string of hospitals across the country. by some coincidence, the corporate headquarters is literally just a block up the road from star physical therapy, where i worked in nashville. another fun coincidence is this hospital is where our nephew jalen was born a year ago to the day of my interview there.
i start work on monday, november 16, when training begins. julie, in the meantime, is still looking. we are still hoping she lands a job at ASU. it's just taking a bit of time due to 3 things: 1) the bad economy, 2) ASU is a large organization, so it takes them a while to confirm decisions and 3) it's difficult breaking into the higher-eduction industry. like the music industry in nashville, it really helps if you know someone.
i'm looking forward to this new challenge, especially because it's normally a bit tough to get employed by a hospital when (like me) you don't have any hospital-employment experience.
