I hear the familiar sound of a text message from a former colleague turned friend and look to see what he said. He is interviewing for a management position! Usually, that’s such exciting news when you have been in any profession for years, right? This infection preventionist (IP) was interviewed at a health care system, but to his dismay, they told him they only hire nurses per their job description. Kindly, they would still keep his application in consideration.
