Never considered this happening! (Odd Musings)
The other day at work I was scheduled to precept a new RN that we'd hired. As usual, I asked her about her background. She said she hadn't been in nursing for 10+ years, but that she'd been a nurse for 13 years before that. She then told me about how she left nursing 12 years ago to be a software engineer.
With the current layoff situation around here, she said she's been unable to find a job for almost a year and was left no choice but to find a job as an RN again. Whoa!! I told her about Dave being a software engineer and his current situation. She asked where he worked and I told her the name of the now-out-of-business company.
She gave me kind of an odd look.
I gave her one back.
She then explained that she'd interviewed at that same company last year AND was offered a job, but she turned it down because she received a better offer elsewhere.
That left me with the thought that although our jobs are completely different, I am currently working with someone who could have also been a coworker of Dave's at one point.
Weird world, huh?
