I never expected it really. After I saw that there were 20 of us applying to the post, I said to myself, I will never make it but I did my best. Well, my best was good enough for them. They said they were going to contact the candidates 48 hours after the interview, but as I was just about to go for a bike in the park, literally outside my boyfriend's flat, my phone rang with a withheld number. I answered. It was the ward sister who interviewed me the day before. She asked how the interview went, so I thought it was just a survey. But she said she wanted me to join her team! I was so shocked! Happy! Ecstatic! I told her I was jumping for joy! Unbelievable! I called my boyfriend there and then and broke the news and he was happier for me, that he bought me a new shirt.
Knowing that the hospital is huge and right at the very heart of London, to be shortlisted even for an interview was big deal to me. What more if I will be working there. Just fantastic!

And few days ago, I went to visit the Orthpaedic Ward where I will be working. It is on the 11th floor of the Main Building and next to it is the River Thames, where opposite is the House of Parliament (Big Ben) and infront of the Main Entrance is the Marriott. Very posh! I have always dreamed of working there and now its coming true. Im so excited!
Now Im torn which job to take... The one in Ealing or this one? Hmmm. Its not hard a choice is it?
