New Job and a GIFT to celebrate......

 Several months ago I learned of the possibility of getting a full time

position at American Fork Hospital.   I wanted it so badly!

So the job was posted the first of June and I applied,

interviewed and I GOT IT!!!!

I am now the Diagnostic Imaging Coordinator!

 or aka VIC the DIC :)  Ya, bad joke.....

I have just been so very happy and grateful 

and overwhelmed by the wonderfulness of this

opportunity that I have been at the brink of tears for 

two weeks.  I LOVE general X-ray and am grateful to

be back in it.  I have a lot to remember and relearn

but I am excited to do it and to grow and stretch.

So what does this sewing machine have to do with my new job??

It is my gift to myself to celebrate getting my new job.

This little 1950 featherweight machine sews so much better

than my other sewing machine it is unbelievable.

I have friends that have them and I have wanted one 

for a long time.... so it seemed like a great time to get one!

In my new job I am over about 13 techs, 8 students, and

am responsible for scheduling, training, coaching,

motivating, teaching, and leading this great team

in general x-ray.  As I said I have much to learn but

I am so excited about it!! I got a good raise and my benefits

are better at less cost to me.  I am so very thankful!

I have prayed so long and hard for a better job where

I was not underemployed, where I could use my talents, 

where I could grow and progress.  This is just what I was looking for.

 It will be more financial security which is such a great blessing.

I keep saying the same thing over and over here but I just

cannot express how grateful I am for this blessing!!!

This new position made it possible for me to quit my part time job

here at Utah Valley Imaging in Orem.  I have loved working here

with my good friend Joan Orton and rekindling a friendship with 

Tracie Fillerup who was my Senior student when I went to Xray school.

I have really enjoyed working with the Radiologists here.

They are some phenomenal men.  Good doctors.  Kind and caring.

But I will not miss this job!! It has been my least favorite job I have

ever had.  But it was an answer to prayer and kept me going

for a long time and for that I am grateful.
