After applying virtually everywhere...

which one do youw ant more?

You do just that, say thank you so much for the offer, tell them how happy you are for their consideration but you must decline their offer.

Congrats on your job offers, options are ALWAYS a good thing. I would defiantly suggest checking out both places before making a concrete decision. Good luck

WOW!!! Congrats! I cannot wait to be an RN.... and to have 2 choices, good for you!

congrats! that's awesome! i'm a new grad and i'm still looking for a job. this just shows that there are jobs out there for everyone, no matter how long it takes.

Wow! I'm so happy for you. I feel a bit more hopeful after hearing this. Best of luck to you :)

I am a first semester nursing student and LOVE reading posts like this! Congrats!

Thank you all so much. I feel so happy. I have wanted to be an RN for so long and each milestone has felt incredible: Getting accepted to nursing school, passing the exit exam, passing NLCEX(!!!), and finally job offers. Can't wait to sign my name on the dotted line and embark on another course of learning and helping people.

I had two offers too. I checked out both places, asked everyone I knew, and looked into the benefits. In the end I chose the one with the best benefit package. Congrats and good luck

Awesome!:anpom:Its always great to hear when hardwork and perseverance pay off

Did you make any changes to your resume, cover letter, approach, etc that you feel were the difference in getting these offers or was the timing just right?

Do you have both offers in writing? Wait till you have an offer in writing with a specific start date for the job you plan to take before you turn down the other one. Then I would call the hiring manager at the place you're turning down and thank them for offering you the job, but explain that you've accepted another offer.

Congratulations!

I've given up on cover letters. I don't particularly admire my writing (although I have on occasion come up w/a few gems). So I now just leave them blank. The two I got offers at, didn't take paper resumes, so one was handwritten fill-in form, and the other completely online. I got to know the staff at one from volunteering there. The other had been holding my resume since August which I had left there even though they said they had no new grad positions. Then one day I got a call that they were going to have a NG Program (unannounced).

I hate paper/online applications. I've always felt that way about job or school applications, etc. I feel that once they meet me, I can show them who I really am and they will see my desire, honesty, and professionalism. I prefer face-to-face a lot better. I think having that face-to-face opportunity is what did it.

I'm SO excited!

Oh one thing I have done on recent resumes is take out all my clinical rotations. Every RN has those same rotations, so they are just filler and i felt would just be like everyone else. I kept my preceptorship. Since August I've been able to add 2 RN positions (non-acute) and a volunteer one. So I make sure I highlight those.
