I went for a job interview today and when they took me in and sat me down it was the Nurse Manager and a guy she said was the floor supervisor. They were nice and all but I didn't get the impression she really thought I was capable of doing the job, however, when I got home there was a message on the answering machine from the hospital and when I called back they said she wanted to offer me the position and that orientation was in two weeks.
I'm still struggling with the decision (it's so hard to leave the baby, I almost can't bear the thought.)
1.)If I decide not to accept the job I know I need to let them know ASAP but what is the courteous way to do it?
2.)Will they be angry about it or will I still be able to apply for a job there later? Or is this more like being recruited in the army?
3.)Assuming I took the job, what exactly is telemetry?
4.)Is there a list of common drugs they use on this floor?
5.)What would my responsibilities be?
6.)What kind of skills do I need to brush up on? I was as honest as I could be and told them I really had no skills.
I'm scared and having a lot of anxiety over this. I looked at my baby just now and started bawling. I don't know if I can handle this. Maybe I should go get on public assistance or something. Just don't know if I can deal with it.
