VERY FRUSTRATED!! New Job, maybe?

Hi all,

I am in a bit of a bind right now..

I got offered a job in a Special Care Nursery in the hospital where I am working per-diem as an ER RN. The trouble is I got offered this job a month ago and I have not heard anything further from the clinical manager who offered me the job.

I was on vacation in the caribbean when HR called I got the job offer and was told to email or call the clinical manager when I returned. I emailed the clinical manager the sunday I got back and she was on vacation for a week. Never returned my email when she returned from vacation. I called her about 20 times and got voice mail everytime so I left a phone message. No response to that. She then went on vacation again last week and I called HR out of frustration because I feel like I am being left in limbo. HR told me to call the other manager, which I did. She knew nothing about the hours or when I would start, but gave me a tentative date and said the the other manager would call me this week when she was back from vacation again.

Its the middle of the week, I emailed again, and still nothing. I can't give my notice to my current employer until I am sure of the hours etc, but this manager doesn't seem interested in getting back to me.

Should I just forget the job offer and move on? I have been trying to get this job for two years now and I finally get offered the job, but again that was a month ago.. I am just really confused and I feel like my life has been put on hold over this!!

Unbelievable. Definitely a good thing you didn't turn in your notice! Hope things work out for you. :)

I'm surprised that they would hire someone as part time without prior special care nursery experience. Would part time hours provide enough training for you, seeing as you are coming from the ED?

The whole situation sounds so frustrating! I hope it all works out for the best for you!

The manager sounds like a flake, especially being upset that "you" weren't ready to start (after all your calls & emails!). Something seems amiss here.

Thank you all!!

Well I FINALLY got the call yesterday, 32 hours are all mine, so I am all set. Of course I will have to give my two weeks notice to my current employer today :( , always the hard part of getting a new job, but I am happy I will get to finally start and find out if I like this new area.

Happy
