It doesn't hurt to go ahead and talk to CareNow and see what they are offering. You can tell them that you have tentively taken a job, however would like to see their offer. If it is much better then you have something to think about. If the same or less, thank them for their time.

i had a friend that was a nursing supervisor of a carenow.she told me they worked ya like a dog and did not pay very well. however, i went to a care now in ft worth last week for a work physical and found the back clinical area to be very relaxed. she told me that you would not think it would be a good place to get experience but they see so many sick patients that you get the opportunity to give many injections and a somewhat wide range if medications,plus do a wide range of procedures...i know right now they have a sign on bonus or at least they do in my area. i would at least go talk with them and see what they have to offer.

CareNow Clinics pay horribly! They start new LVNs at $14 per hour with benefits, and a differential for evenings and weekends. In addition, you are expected to be on-call, and to rotate to different clinics as needed.

set up an interview and go with who you think you'll be happiest with. Beleive me, if you don't like your job in nursing, you'll burn out way too fast.
