After applying and interviewing for eight long months, I have finally got an offer with a hospital that has even been cleared by IPN. However, I am nervous about clearing the background check because my monitoring in a previous state is through the BON, so the details are public. I accepted that offer a week ago and am patiently waiting to NOT here back that I failed the background check when BAM! I get another offer yesterday for a different hospital. I am awaiting IPN clearance on that one but the problem is I would prefer to keep the first offer as it is nights, so I won't have to deal with juggling work and drug testing. And the even bigger problem is the second offer wants me to sign paperwork today and start orientation on Monday! I'm afraid if I pass up the second offer now, I have over a week before the first offer orientation would start and if something goes wrong with that I could still end up jobless! The anxiety is real people. Sorry if this is a messy rambling rant but I just don't know what to do!
