Tried waking up before my shift. Didn't happen. A good lesson in life - sometimes you have to put yourself out there to get chances for opportunity - After my shift yesterday we were all looking at the schedule, and realized we were super understaffed for today. I wasn't supposed to work, I'm an unpaid volunteer that's only supposed to work 4-hour shifts once a week(I overachieved and started with 2, then asked to get my Saturday shift extended from 4 to 7 hours), but I offered to spend my Sunday doing an 11-hour shift unpaid. All the nurses and PCT's were so grateful that they all told the head of hiring for the hospital they need to get me hired, since I'm so devoted and they're understaffed anyway. Haven't gotten the offer yet, but also haven't submitted my application, and it's sort of the "apply and you got the job" type deal, or at least they're making it sound like it. On top of all that I managed somehow to get 9 in after the shift and I think I'm gonna die lol. So hype because volunteering for a hospital is good on a med school application, but having worked at a hospital already is a big deal. Plus almost no volunteers get hired, and it took me less than a month to(hopefully) get the offer. What a great day
