New job with vacation

Nurses General Nursing

I have been working in post acute rehab for 3 yrs and then suddenly I meet the DON of a major hospital at my work (her mother is one of my patients) and she wants to hire me! She had the HR call me the next day to schedule an interview.

However, my current job gave me vacation time to take off for my wedding in 2 months. How do I lay that out on the plate? And when?

I would just straight up tell the person who does scheduling before any scheduling is done. I started a new job 3 months ago with a vacation already planned and let my boss know as soon as I got the offer.

That happened to a friend of mine but as a new grad. He had planned his wedding and honeymoon not expecting to be hired right after graduation. HR told him he couldn't have off when he interviewed with them, but his manager and scheduler told him it was no big deal. I'm sure if you're up front with them they will respect that you have a life outside of work.
