I am from northwest Wisconsin. I have had about 15 interviews and applied for probably 40 jobs and these are the only two that have been a yes so far lol.

And is calling appropriate or is this something I should show up in person to

Thanks everyone. I guess I'm just venting here. I did my nursing school orientation in the ccu at the hospital I was hired at first, and my preceptor used to work on neuro peds. He actually called that floors supervisor and told her to call me to hire me. So I feel bad that I was recommended by my preceptor and that I'd be leaving after he put in a good word. However, I did tell the supervisor in my interview that I wanted to be an er nurse, and that it was my dream. My preceptor and I still keep in touch as well and he also knows how badly I want an ER job. It's so nice to have two offers after 4 months with no bites on jobs, I am just a worrier and I hate putting others in difficult places. I know they probably have a 2nd choice who they could call. I just need to not worry so much about others.

Hello everyone, Here's my question. I was offered a position last week for a part time job on a neuro/peds unit. I accepted the position. Today, I was called and offered a position for an ER nurse. It is my dream to be an ER nurse, and it is at my dream hospital. I already work at this hospital also as an EMT. I didn't know that I really had a chance, which is why I took the first job without asking them to give me a few days to decide. I don't start orientation for the neuro/peds job for another two weeks, and I haven't filled out any paperwork yet or even done a drug test. All I have done is verbally accepted the offer. Does it look bad on me to call them back and tell them I have accepted a different job? I forgot to mention that the ER job is full time, closer to where I live, in a hospital I currently work at, and also pays over $2 an hour more than the job I accepted. I have been an EMT for 4 years and know I want to work in the ER as a nurse. Plus, since I already work as an ED tech in the ER that called me, I already know the facility well and all the staff, and work well with them all. I guess I also just don't know what exactly to say to the first job. I don't want this to hinder my chances of working for them in the future if I ever am interested in it or move closer to that hospital. Do you think they will think badly of it as long as I let them know as soon as possible, before they spend any money hiring me? Thanks
