Washoe

For 3 or more weeks, I've been told that I had the job I applied for. Met with the unit staff, the nurse manager, the whole deal. The job 's mine. Definately. But since that time, no word. Nothing in writing. No heads up about when I'm expected to start. I call HR and am told that someone in administration is dealing with some detail or details. They would for sure contact me before t-giving. Then, gosh... what with the short work week and all, they just couldn't get to it. So, they would definately get back to me this week. But, of course, they did not. Now HR says they don't know what's become of that paperwork and no one is quite sure when things will become official.

How can this be right? Is this any way to run a business?

I just have one question here. When the person responsible for this bottleneck becomes my patient on the unit... and he or she needs some analgesic, can I say... "sure! You can have that dilaudid. No problem. I'll be back to you on that w/in 10 minutes. Ten minutes tops. Trust me." An hour later can I say "Gee, I'm not sure who was supposed to give you that pain med. I'm looking into it though. Don't worry." And an hour after that... "hey, you know, what with shift change and all, we just didn't have time to address your issues, but I'll pass your request on to the appropriate person."

You get the picture!

Wonder if they're this sloppy and inconsiderate with all their hires or just with nurses.
