Got an offer in sub-acute, how to politely decline the offer?

Published

I interviewed at a sub-acute rehab facility and was called by the nurse recruiter to inform me the nurse manager would like to offer me the position. I asked for 24 hrs to mull it over.

I don't want to work in sub-acute and I have interviews lined up in a hospital (where I would actually like to work).

What would be the best way to go about declining the offer to the sub-acute facility? Any sample wording would be very much appreciated!

Thanks!

I obviously am not to the "interviewing stage" but was wondering why you would interview for a job you knew you didn't want?

**Nevermind, I read your response above :)) **

"No, thank you."

Or you could get lugubrious and say "thank you for your gracious offer." But this is America so, " I'm move on down, move on down the road..."

Just wanted to update that I received an offer on a telemetry unit - so needless to say I'm very happy that I held out! :)
