Declined dream job offer??

Nurses Career Support

Published

New grad here. I was offered 2 job offers in the same week- one being my dream job and the other with the hospital I interned with. Long story short, I ended up choosing #2 because I felt guilty cutting ties after the internship. There's also less risk because I know what I'm getting.

A month later, I regret my decision. I want the dream job so badly and it's crazy to think I threw away my chance. Is it worth contacting them to see if the position is still open?

A couple factors here:

1) HR has been slow to say the least at hospital #2. I have not signed any papers, only gave a verbal confirmation over the phone

2) the dream job is known to hire more than allotted spaces, if candidates are qualified

Any input welcome

It doesn't hurt to try!

Thank you! I did email HR and the hiring manager. Now I wait (although it may take a while with it being a holiday week)

I suppose I'm wondering if I will come across as rude. Everything was conducted professionally, but I hear some recruiters will write people off that decline offers. It's important to note that I do have other opportunities, but simply think this one is the best fit
