Right, I understand. But, if I don't sign anything, that means that I can recant on them, too, if I get a better offer, right?

Hi all! First time posting, but I've kept myself awake for about an hour now and I have to ask... What is your experience with a verbal job offer from HR? The reason I'm asking is because I went to my first nursing interview last week and was told that I got the job (Yay!!!) and would get a phone call from HR this coming week. I graduate in May and applied for a few new grad positions so far, but this is the only one I've heard back from. The thing is... it's really far away and I've got feelers out at a hospital near to me. All of my family says that I should just take the job at the place I interviewed, and then just keep looking up closer to me and if I get a job offer nearer to where I live, to call the first hospital and say that I can't take the job anymore. The only thing I'm worried about is if this is considered a breech of contract or is it kind of more common? I wouldn't even be able to start working until July, anyway, because I have to take my NCLEX and all that. I just don't want to turn this down, just in case I don't get a job in my area. What should I do?
