Declining a position after accepting it.

Nurses Professionalism

Published

I went for an interview 2 weeks ago, and received a job offer. Amazing hospital, Amazing unit, the managers are so kind and I ll have to make a move there to work.

I am not too fond on moving AGAIN but I can make the sacrifice,

But...

The salary I was quoted for is nearly half of what I've ever made. And while that isn't the exact reason, I've been trying to find a decent apartment that can atleast sustain me with the salary they quoted me for. Almost all the decent priced apartments are surrounded by crime, and car break ins. The nice ones are about 3 weeks of a pay check .

Ill be living alone..-_- and never lived around an envir. like that.

I also have student loans, car, billsss.

And they want me to start orientation in 2-4 weeks Max.

Im saddened at the realization that I would love this job, but the pay is not great at all, and I cant find housing decent enough.

I want to tell the managers kindly that I cant find housing decent enough and the quote I was given doesn't allow me to find something decent. And with orientation around the corner, I rather have them offer it to someone else, to the avoid the risks of me not being able to find a place and orient.

I want them to be able to consider me in the future though, for sure.

Any ideas?

What about contacting them and asking them to suggest a neighborhood?

Or post on here in the state forum for where you live, I bet people could let you know where to find more reasonable and safe housing.

OP, what part of NY are you talking about?
