New Grad Needs Help!!!!!!!

Published

I just graduated this May and accepted a job in PEDS in a large hospital. I accepted so quickly becausue I knew I wanted PEDS and the recruiter was pushy. I know no excuse, but I did. I went for my share night tonight, and well it was OK. A lot of complaining, moaning, and B*tching... I don't know what can you see in two hours of share time, but my gut tells me think about it. I have another PEDS position I will find out about in a week, and another interview next week... Question is I know I verbally accpeted, but I did not sign my offer letter yet. Am I obligated to take the position... I m just worried this is my first job and I wanted it to be a good experience.. Please any help would be greatly appreciated. :balloons:

To my understanding, unless your signature is on paper, you cannot be bound to any verbal agreement; don't get bullied into thinking you are committed.

unless you are signing a contract not in obligation...just explain a better offer has come up and you will keep their hospital in mind
