So midway through my assignment in Colorado I was asked if I wanted to extend. This extension would be from October to December. I said no right away because I avoid places that snow (coming from Florida). They said they were open to me extending for as little as I wanted, even if it was just a few extra weeks. I asked around to see if it snows in October, and they said it may snow very lightly but usually melts right away. This is do-able for me so I decided to extend for an extra month.
My agency offered me an extra $5/hour for my extension. For one month, it’s just an extra $800, but I can’t complain. I like this assignment a lot so I didn’t mind extending for free. Especially because it would give me the opportunity to take November and December off like I like to do for the holidays.
Since school started, it has gotten a bit slower. I am only seeing about 8-10 patients per day now. I am enjoying fall, seeing the leaves change color. It’s cold in the morning and at night but pretty hot in the day time. No regrets.
