I have been waiting more than two months after I passed my board exam to find a job, now that I finally found it, I have a bigger problem. I am going to have an orientation of the facility in April 14, I don't know exactly when I am going to start working. But I have a trial (Court day) in NY on May 6, by the way I am now leaving in Florida. I have to be there, because my lawyer told me if I am not present, I am going to lose the case. Do you think the DON will understand? Because I don't want to lose the job, and I don't want to lose the case either ( I have been hit by a car while I was crossing the street in NY, it is about almost 10 years), Please some advice.:(

Inform the Human Resources department of your situation now, and the other people that you think should know, at the facility. I think they'll understand. Your orientation might be postponed, but might not. I don't think it will have any impact on your employment. People tend to understand such obligations.

yes, you need to inform them immediately....actually, today.

it's ok to be apologetic but it also needs to be known that you have absolutely no choice.

i think the biggest issue right now, is how soon you tell them.

each passing day, only will make it a bigger issue.

best of everything.

Thank you everybody, I thank that I will talk to the DON first, But should I go to her or should I call her. I was thinking about waiting to talk to her on Tuesday before I start my orientation. I am not going to work on Tuesday, I will have an orientation of the facility after that, they will tell me when I am going to start.:idea:

Please don't waste any time. You need to get this straightened up with her immediately and be prepared to explain why you didn't mention anything when you were hired, since you were aware of the situation at that time.
