The Bergs

It is amazing how fast things happen the way you want them to when you just let God take control. After the wedding I had been looking for a job at a clinic so I could get the same hours as Jonn and to also get different experience. I had applied to 10 or 15 other places but after about a month and a half later with no calls for an interview I started to worry. So I thought of other clinics I could go and bring my resume to. As I started to think Maplewood Cancer Center came into my head so I gave them a call to see if they had any openings. They said that they had just opened up a new LPN position so I hurried and turned my application in the next day. A day or two later I received a phone call for an interview so of course I accepted and was so nervous that I was nauseous and during the interview couldn’t think of the correct answers. I felt like I failed miserably and told my husband I doubt I’d get the job. The next day I received a phone call from aspen clinic offering me a job at their clinic so at least I had a job no matter what. That same day Maplewood Cancer Center called me back to see if I would like to come in for a shadowing with another nurse, which I accepted! I spent the morning following a nurse around while she gave chemo and did blood draws and a variety of different things. I had such a blast. About two or three hours after the shadowing I received a call from Maplewood Cancer Center and they offered me the job.  I started on October 8th.

So far I have been at the job for two weeks and I have learned to so much and still have so much to learn, at times I feel inadequate because I am so inexperienced but at other times I feel like I can relate to the patient. It has been over six years since my cancer diagnosis of Hodgkin’s disease and working in the clinic where I had gotten treatment has brought a lot of memories back that I had forgotten it is overwhelming at times. I know God had a hand in me getting this job and he wants me to work there because I couldn’t have called at a better time, if I would have called any sooner or later the job would not have been open or it would have been taken.

Thank You God
