Today was my first day back to work at the hospital as a nurse. I have greatly enjoyed being a stay at home mom over the last 8 years, but I am also excited about being back in the world of the employed.

There is just something about being with a group of like minded people that is exciting. Plus, if you are a nurse or a nursing student, you know what the meal time conversation is like… revolting to some extremely interesting to others. 🙂 I am even looking forward to going back again tomorrow…we’ll see how long that lasts.

Stay At Home Mom No More…

Well, the end of an era has come! I am going back to work!

I have been a stay at home mom for the last several years and have enjoyed it very much! Now that my kids are in school full days, it is time for me to return to the world of the employed.

I had an interview the other day and this is very similar to the outfit that I wore. The nurse manager that interviewed me kiddingly said that she would have hired me just based on my outfit alone 🙂

When going on a job interview, the first impression you make with the colors that you choose can be just as important as what is on your resume. “Red is powerful and strong. It shows you’re not afraid to stand out, and it gets attention,” says professional image consultant Mary Lin Dedeaux of Wardrobe Perfect.

While not everyone wants to wear red, blue is always a great choice. Studies show the best color to wear to a job interview is navy blue. It inspires confidence. You are more likely to get the job when you wear navy blue to an interview than any other color.
