[__ Prayer __] Job prayer answered

Nikki

Member
I had been unhappy at my job for a long time and had been applying places for almost a year (I'm a Phlebotomist and was working in an extremely large dr office). I FINALLY got a new job and this was my first week. It is absolutely amazing! I'm going to be SO happy there! My old job had me so unhappy and stressed that when I would pull into the parking lot at work in the mornings, I would sit in my car and either cry or fight back tears. I was being bullied something awful (yes, even adults can be bullied when the manager and supervisor don't do anything to stop it) also. I couldn't "fight" back because I would lose my job. It was just HORRIBLE. We had 14 people quit or get fired in less than a year. They all kept telling me "The grass is so much greener elsewhere!". Now I know exactly what they were talking about. This new job has opened a TON of doors for me also! I was at my old job for almost 6 years doing the same thing. This new one has started cross training me to do all kinds of exciting things! I'll be at my office 2-3 days a week, I make my own schedule and the other days I choose to work, I will be floating to possibly 9 other offices.

I had prayed for a new job for so long and was getting so discouraged because I had applied so many places and never heard from anyone that I was about to give up.

Anyways, I just wanted to share and tell others "Don't give up!!!".

yeah, i am so blessed with this testimony Nikki.
I am also praying for God's open door for a new opportunity a new kind of job. I've been working here in my present job for about 3 years , this is my first job since i graduated from university. And i can say that almost everything that i do ....everyday is a routine. But i have no problem with the people in the office and we get along so well. Only that, everyday it seems like a burden to me getting up and thinking of going to my same job again...(.i feel bad sometimes coz there are people i know who don't even have a job and who am i to complain with my job)..but anyways, right now i am praying and applying for job abroad coz i feel like i am called to work outside my country. I really have to pray for this desire if this is really God's will.
Congrats by the way :) praise be to God
 
I am absoutely delighted so you, Nikki ..... Well done, God !


May you prosper in your new job.. Btw, what's a Phlebo.......... :chin :confused

I draw blood :)

At my old job, that's ALL I did. At this new job, they're even teaching me to run certain tests with kits and the machines. (Flu, strep, mono, pregnancy, etc). I would have NEVER been allowed to do that. They said after my training (training ends the 27th of this month), I will be able to also call myself a Non-Registered Clinical Laboratory Technician.
 
Tina the word game ....

Phlebotomist vampire :help


Nikki you guys do a great job! A service no one likes and yet is so needed... thank you.
Having had the need for the blood draws one can tell who is just doing their job and who is truly giving service. When you guys are good it makes some of the hurts of medicine go away..... Happy in your job is so very important not only for you but for patients . Thanks
 
Thank you everyone!

Reba, every time the patients call me a vampire, I tell them "I'm not a vampire. I just work for him". hehe

Nikki:

Well, this is great. Sounds like you're much better off where you are now. Maybe you were right to get out while the going was good; when you go of your own volition rather than when you were pushed. (You probably know all about 'constructive dismissal', which is deemed to be a firing if they deliberately make life so unpleasant for you that it amounts to this.) Anyway, you know the old saying: 'He who learns to walk away, lives to fight another day'.

God's gift:

Well, I hope that you too manage to find something more to your liking, as well, though it sounds like your situation is far better than Nikki's was. Best not to act too hastily if the job is going more or less okay anyway. (You know, on the other thread you said you had been considering a tattoo; maybe, especially if it were faith related in design, it would somehow make you feel a bit more positive? but you must know.)

Thanks farouk, faith related design tatoo looks good . Have to put it on hold and have to pray about it coz my work has policies against tatoos of any kind and markings.
