My brother just got hired at a hospital ER 3 weeks ago. HEs already experienced so he will be in orientation for weeks.
I applied to the same hospital ER. I Just graduated, no experience, basically not expecting to get hired. But I got called and going to be interviewed soon for their graduate nurse residency program ER.
So we're gonna be on the same floor.
Is It OK? Legal? Or Whatever?
Should I quit before I fall in too deep?
Stop now or my brother throws a tantrum? His tantrums are on a whole nother level. Or some kinda conflict of whatever, happens.
I kinda want to go on cause this is a great opportunity. But, this family member issue is really too crazy bothering me.
Unless someone offers you a job in writing, outlining your salary, hours, and the like, then it is not a guarantee that you got the position that you were seeking.
And once you have the offer letter in hand, you usually have a time limit to accept such offer by bringing the sign offer letter to HR.
Although it is not unheard of HR/ nurse manager to then rescind the signed offer letter, but unlikely.
And as a pp pointed out, an interview, flowery talk about how you would be a "perfect fit" whatever is not an offer of employment, no matter what you believe is being said to you. What is said, and decisions that are made can be 2 entirely different things.
And your brother, the 30 year old who, by your description is unable or unwilling to be an adult professional, may or may not have had a thing to do with the decision. But would you really want to work in an environment that would listen to your sibling garbage talk you (assuming that is what happened, and who knows, really) and base hiring decisions on this?
Go to a professional and have your resume looked over and updated. Along with a cover letter. Also practice some mock interviews.
And by some of your comments,("basically, I hate them"....REALLY? You know better than that!!) I would highly suggest that you think about how to be a professional. This is a critical area of nursing you would like to get into. Your nursing character is important. Because your brother may or may not be a professional is on him. Karma is an interesting thing.
Your last response, "basically I hate them, it's their loss" makes me think the situation would have been hard for you to function in professionally. Might be a blessing.

So, what really happened, the call i made went straight to voicemail, the HR and the supervisor just ignore me. they never answer. they pick up, i dont hear any sound, just buttons pressed. they wont talk to me at all.
basically, i hate them. its their loss.
I lost the er oportunity but ill take it as a blessing in disguise at least im not gonna be working with my brother.
Im now going back to the struggle of a new graduate looking for a job. T_T
I'm sorry you lost the opportunity, but it seems that YOU (as well as your brother, perhaps -- we haven't heard from HIM) have some growing up to do. From what you've written, you have no idea what went on in that office. It could very well be that everyone is adjusting to a new phone system and haven't quite figured out how it works yet. Or the phone system could be malfunctioning -- I've suffered through both scenerios at work. "Hating" them is immature and unhealthy. And you're wrong if you think "they" have lost anything -- new grads are a dime a dozen. Perhaps they've chosen to go with a new grad who doesn't have family issues in the workplace.

OP do all your coworkers a favor and do NOT allow yourselves to be scheduled together. No one wants that kind of drama. Seriously, just don't do it. It will make everyone around you uncomfortable and be very unprofessional.
You accepted the job two days ago and are already counting it as a loss because you haven't heard anything back from them since that call? Did you talk to the supervisor or leave her a message? There could be a number of reasons why you haven't heard anything else from them yet. Unless they specifically told you they are no longer offering the position to you, you are jumping the gun with your attitude and feelings of it being their loss. Take a deep breath and relax.
As for working with your brother, you need to treat him as any other co-worker while at work. Nothing more and nothing less.

If offered, take the job. .
I disagree. I would advise the OP not take the job. But seems she already has. I think it's a mistake. Seriously is there NO OTHER job on the planet that is not with her contentious brother?????
Anyhow, if she can't get over the problems with her brother, it won't be just her problem. The whole unit will suffer and that can't be allowed to happen. If problems arise, you may be asked to leave.
Actually, I think no offer was ever made. I think OP called and left a voice mail after the interview, trying to accept a job she was never offered. OP still hasn't been clear about whether she got anything in writing confirming an offer, rate of pay, date of orientation, etc. She did say it was her first job interview, and I think she misunderstood the process. But if I'm wrong, please correct me OP.
