Uh Oh!!

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Well we are almost set to make the big move to Texas and I am so excited. I feel like I have been waiting for this forever! But now I am petrified!! I called my new hospital last night to confirm some details..set up drug testing..etc..etc. Well the recruiter that I was working with is no longer there. So now they are searching for my file. Man...I hope that nothing falls through the slots here...like my job, or relocation that I negotiated. I feel so dumb. I accepted the job in Feb, and have been chcking in periodically, most recently about 2 weeks ago, and everything seemed fine. But now the recuriter is gone, the one that was there when they offered me the position is gone and the nurse manager that interviewed me is gone ( I knew she was leaving). I feel like something fishy is going on and I am scared. My family is depending on me. We have signed a lease and are all ready to go...not sure what I will do if I do not really have this job! Sorry just venting a bit.

I'm glad to know everything worked out for you.

When I interviewed I knew the nurse manager was leaving, she told me, she got a different position within the hospital. I am not going to base my opinion on the entire hospital on the fact that the HR dept has had some turnover. I am waiting to hear from HR, I should give the new NM a call. I wanted to talk to him anyway.

I know that I have to stay at the hospital for a certain amount of time to recieve the relocation bonus..I am not a total idiot, although it may seem like I am.

If that person is still within the hospital system can't you contact them? Did you not get some type of paperwork when you signed on? Not coming down on you I'm just curious.

Don't worry! All of the hospitals in the town I live in give sign on bonuses. It doesn't have a thing to do with a big turn over or bad places to work...It's the nursing shortage. It sounds like you are worrying about nothing. My daughter is doing an ultrasound program and some hospitals are offering $15,000 bonuses.....it's the shortage, so you will be okay.

Welcome!
