Big Brother audition!





So I did go try out for Big Brother last Wednesday and it was a great day, weather wise as well! John was able to get the afternoon off so he went with me and made it so much better and enjoyable. I was #26 for the auditions and when we got there they were on #15 or so. I watched and listened in on the questions that were being asked so I was prepared when it was my turn. Basically, this was to film your two minute tape that you would normally submit with your 13 page application, photos and copies. What they did was asked you questions and you would answer them while being filmed. The interview process helped so much with keeping the audition flowing. I was asked why I was here, what would set me apart from other house guests, how do I think I would do in competition, if I have any personal goals while in the house, three words to describe myself, if I would have a problem with viewers seeing me that way, and some personal info by myself. How I replied to these questions will be another post.

I got it!

Great news.. I got the summer nursing internship! I was told at the interview that I've got it! Now I'm just waiting on an official phone call from human resources to offer me the position. I found out last Thursday and John and I celebrated by going out to Friday's on Friday. It is more per hour than I make now, so that's always a bonus!! I originally though I was going to be working on a short stay unit because that's what the signature on the email noted the person was emailing me from, but it turned out that's just where they were holding the interviews. I was able to pick where I wanted to go and since I couldn't decide because I'm really open to everything-- I'm going to be following a PRN. PRNs are nursing that float anywhere in the hospital that needs nurses that shift. I will get to see everything! Sometimes I think "what did I get myself into?" by being with a PRN that goes anywhere.. but no doubt, I will survive it!

So that will be my summer! I'm sure it will go by extra fast now..
