Ok, so I recently graduated from a CNA program, and I passed my state exam in the 5th of June. I began putting in applications Immediately. After putting in an application in a SNF of a some-what nearby town (in the error of desperation of getting a job already) I got a call for an interview within 2 hours. The next day I had the interview, and I was hired. At that moment we agreed on the pay being at least 12.00 the hour because it is an hour drive to that town. I just began yesterday (orientation day) and after we planned the schedule the DON tells me my pay was actually going to be 10.75! With a .30 cent increase if it's Pm shift or .60 cents if it's nocturnal. I agreed, because I have a son and family I have to support, and I really need the job. After my hour drive of disappointment back home I got a call from the SNF where I trained with a job offering. I went to speak with the DON today and she offered me the position, it's in my town and the pay is 15.25 the hour. This is an opportunity I cannot let pass me by. So now I will have to quit the other job. How do I let the DON know that I am thankful for her opportunity and consideration but that I must take this other job? I know it's extremely unprofessional, and I can't work both jobs because they are both full time PM shift jobs. Also, I go to school in the mornings.

It looks like your luck (of having an opp somewhere else) increased even more after such behavior from her!
Congrats on the new job, btw!
