job etiquette question

I would call on Monday and talk to the nurse manager first. HR might just brush you off. If you talk to the nurse manager, she might be able to light a fire under them. Good luck.

I think you should call HR asap and tell them the nurse manager offered you a job and you have been expecting to hear from them. I'm sure they have just been busy but if you call they may get the answers you are looking for. If they tell you they are unaware of an offer, then you should call the nurse manager. Good luck!

Call and follow up! Did you write a thank-you letter for the offer? Put it in writing.

i agree with others, you need to call. AND, if you really want the job, you calling will ONLY show that you are interested and look very good for you that you follow up!
good luck!!!!

yep, call in the morning.

I would call the person that offered the job and let her know you haven't heard from HR. She can let you know if HR's swamped and haven't gotten to your paperwork yet, or (gawd forbid) if the offer fell through. I was recruited by the unit where I did my preceptorship, but not only did my position get eliminated, but the entire nurse internship program for med/surg/acute care/womens health all got cancelled because of the economy. I think your case is a simple matter of a departmental communication snafu. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. MAJOR congrats on your accomplishments this far and best of luck to you in your final term. I can't describe the feeling of walking into the packed gym for the pinning ceremony with my fellow grads, and the entire audience is on their feet cheering and waving.
