Same hospital system, yes. Memorial Herman has 10-15 hospitals/clinics in the Houston area. The group in the video were from The Woodlands, which is north Houston. The group I interviewed with supprt all of the hospitals/clinics primarily in the arena of electronic medical records. It's an exciting subject with lots of potential because there's a federal law requiring every doctor to be on electronic medical records by 2015. So, good timing if it works out.

But, DMH don't plan on seeing me dance on YouTube any time soon.

Brian

I'm with you Pooter. No dancing for me either. We HAVE to stick together

I've read about the electronic medical records law and I don't think you can wrong with a job in this field. It's supposed to be a major undertaking for most hospitals, medical facilities, and doctors.

When do you hear if you've gotten the job?

Remember, if you do accept it, you need vacation time in June 2011. We plan on seeing you in Cincinnati for the 2011 ANA Symposium. Bring Jenni and the kids.

Oops! Almost forgot - the drinks are on Steve Gerrard.

My husband is the CIO for a medical group here and was instrumental in the changeover to electronic medical records. There are a few holdout docs, but I'm sure they will all be retired by 2015. It is an arduous process getting all of the paper records entered into an electronic database but now that the hard part is over the system in general works very well.

I don't anticipate hearing anything until the job has been officially opened, which according to the man I met with won't be for a couple of weeks.

Drinks on Steve? Pickups in the Leer by Phyl? How could we go wrong?

FYI, need more luck. Have phone interview on Friday with another company in Austin, Tx. Fairly big company. As my favorite singer, Roger Creager, would say, "things are lookin' good around here"!

Pooter, I'm thinking with all of these opportunities, luck has nothing to do with it. This is a result of your experience and excellent work ethic.

You do have my best wishes, though.

Wow, Pooter! Who knew you'd be in such high demand!

Congrats

And good luck!!

Pooter-

Well, I am the crappiest tumor twin EVER. I just now saw this! What a loser (me, not you - you're clearly a winner!)

Okay, so first of all - congrats on nailing the interview (not that I am surprised.)

Second (channeling Jan here...) WHEN are you going to schedule that MRI?? C'mon, man - as soon as you get the thumbs up, it's time for a virtual party.

And, yes, you're right - it's been awfully quiet around here. I posted a plea for stories yesterday and have only gotten a couple of bites. Surprised me.

Keep smiling, my friend.

Had my MRI yesterday (3rd annual post op) and it wasn't bad at all. This time I was even brave enough to open my eyes while I was in the tube of gloom - have never done that before.

Book that appointment, Pooter!

Jan

Debbi, no worries for just seeing this. Thanks for the comments.

Sara, thanks! I've always felt like I was certainly worth being in demand, but not til here recently have I ever really felt that OTHERS feel that way. Feels good, especially in light of my AN.

Jan/Debbi, there are mitigating factors that I won't dive into on this forum. But, suffice it to say that it is still on my radar to get soon.

Regards,
Brian

Point taken, Pooter

Didn't mean to nag you - just looking out for a fellow ANer.

Jan

Pooter · « **Reply #43 on:** May 14, 2010, 06:55:20 am »

Jan, you aren't nagging. I appreciate you looking out for me. I regularly am reminded to get my MRI by someone else also so the topic is never far from my mind (pun intended). I just wanted y'all to know that I hadn't forgotten but there are some mitigating factors preventing it at this time. That's all.

Regards,
Brian

Debbi · « **Reply #44 on:** May 14, 2010, 07:48:34 am »

Okay --- well, Jan and I will continue to "NOT" nag you about this ...
