Is this OK?

Published

So I work in a SNF/LTC and the medical director of our facility has a Nurse leaving his office practice. He approached me & asked if I would be interested. I am and I did send him my résumé but I've been doubting myself... Is this OK? As a side note I have been quietly looking for another job anyway I'm just not sure it's OK to get a job while at work?? Any thoughts? By the way, this is probably the nicest doctor ever and I have a friend that works at his practice & loves it.

This kind of thing happens a lot, and I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. If you think that you would be happier working for the doctor, then be thankful for the opportunity and go for it. Sometimes these things can only happen while you are at work because this doctor would not have otherwise gotten to know you or your work. Rest assured that if your DON was offered a position that he/she thought would be better, he/she would probably take it too. Life happens, and people move on.

Go for it. Your DON will probably even be happy for you.
