looking for advice...what should I do

[dolphindodger]

This might not make sense but I was just looking for some friendly advice. I have(had) been out of work for about 6 months. I applied and interviewed for a job I was interested in but didn't hear anything for a while. Then I interviewed for a job I thought I could be interested in and accepted the position. While in orientation (classroom stuff) I received a call and was offered the job I was interested i first. I thought about it but felt I was obligated to stay with the position I was orienting for. And since it was in the same hospital system I thought I had to stay 6 months before transferring. Now I have had my first day of orientation on the floor and I can't help spending time thinking of the job I turned down. I wish I had did something before. I am not sure it is "right" to inquire to that supervisor about the job opening and I am afraid of letting my current supervisor know anything about it. What should or could I do? I think part of my "anxiety" is just starting at a new place and a new field after beiing out of work for a while. But I cant help thinking about the position I turned down. Sorry this got so long. Thanks for any advice!

Touchy situation. The HN may get angry if you let her know you are not interested in the job on her unit. You do have the right to feel happy in you work situation.

1. Evaluate present work situation for 1 week.

2. Check to make sure other position is open.

3. Check with handbook regarding transfer policy.

4. After all things considered, speak to someone, HN and personnel staff

regarding your interest in other position.

5. Transfer may be able to be worked out if you are sincere in your desire

to work this other job.

Good luck and let us know what happens.
