Really don't know where to start, other than to say that the post title is probably misleading, since I don't even know if I *was hired.* Here's my story-I was looking for a PRN job to stay busy a couple nights a week and make extra income. I currently work in a 8-4 clinic job. Found a job through a local organization that provides hospice/private duty and transitional care coaching.
Anyway, here's the fun part. I applied online, never heard back. Called HR and was told by a baffled HR person that they needed help bad. One hour later get a phone call requesting an interview an hour away. Take off work early for said interview and apparently all goes well. Easy dosage calculation test, basic questions and then explanations on how the process works. Sent home with orientation papers (HIPAA, fire safety, sexual harassment etc etc) and told to complete and mailed back. Packet mailed back, never heard back. Of course when I called back the packet "just got there." Was told physical/UDS form would be emailed. Call the main office and was told by original HR person that the next person in line is "awesome" and would get to the bottom of things. "Awesome' manager never calls back. I call again (2 days later) and finally reach awesome manager. She proceeds to put me on a three way phone convo with hiring manager who informs me that she didn't know why I was upset, and oh, by the way, your titer is negative for measles. Nothing like calling to find that out. Awesome manager and first hiring person tell me to get that taken care of and yadi yadi yadi.
A couple of extra fun tidbits for added context-my friend also applied for similar role and has had regular phone contact with a different mgr. She even has an orientation date next week.
Sorry for lengthy post, just needed to unload this frustration. Just not sure why these people would spend money on physicals etc and then ghost someone.
