I finally accepted a job offer

Nurses Job Hunt

Published

My first job offer started with a labor and delivery position, I had my 2 interviews, and I was told they wanted to hire me, after countless follow-up calls and texts, I began to get worried about if i was actually going to get hired, plus not having an income in over a month, I was beginning to sweat lol. I decided to apply for a few other jobs, and back to back everyone called me back all at once, a pediatric residency, an OR residency, Med-surg. Finally I decided to call HR about the Labor and Delivery position, and there was a mix up, they finally emailed me to submit my references, and they started my background check yesterday, and it took 1 day to come back, so today I got my green light to start my new hire paperwork, and my offer came with a nice sign-on bonus. I'm so relieved to be able to start working. Now I just need to call the other hospitals to withdrawal my applications.

Lol yes right now OUt medical center is hiring for some awesome new grad residency programs, I really wish my car was more reliable to drive the distance or I lived closer, or I would so take the OR position, but at least with my labor and delivery job, I'll be able to go in the OR for c-sections ?

It's okay, L&D will be good :). Maybe in the later future you can get into OR or maybe in something else if you change your mind.

Celebrate the fact that you got in! You've just passed your 4th hurdle in your career:

1st: getting into nursing school

2nd: passing nursing school

3rd: passing NCLEX ==> LICENSE!

4th: getting a job (one that you want or that can take you there)

5th: getting your dream job(s)

6th: retire and not lose your RN license OR retire with your RN license :)

Hear that everyone? OK is hiring!! When possible, experience should trump pay......

Thank you, I've talked to a few nurses that have worked in several different specialties so I'm looking forward to my future ?
