by OnlybyHisgraceRN Dec 4, '12Hello,
I went on a interview last week for a job and received a call this AM that they would like to hire me and are currently checking references. The recruiter states I should hear something back by the end of this week.
Yesterday, I received an email from another hospital I applied ( the place I'd rather work) and the recruiter wants to interview me next week but we have not confirmed any dates.
My question is: How do I delay a job offer while I have another interview pending? I'm sure they are interviewing other people, in a perfect world I'll be able to give them a decision in two weeks.
I'm technically a new grad ( 11 months nursing exp. 3 months LTC, 8 months ICU) and I'm just blessed to have been able to get two interviews with less than one year of experience in a specialty. I really don't want to blow this.
Advice?
