Hi Christy. The nicest thing you can do for them is to be clear and honest and say that you are looking for only a couple of days and want to be involved in the behavioural side. Honestly they are over worked because the place obviously isn't managed properly. If they aren't taking enough care over the staff they have and are evading the things you need to talk about then run, don't walk, to the second clinic.
Congratulations on getting 2 job offers - that is great!
I know it totally sucks and its hard to do, but I think you have to be upfront with the first place. You already said that the first places nurses were exhasusted and run down, and that they want you to do 35 hours which is not something you want. I think you have pretty much made a decision about that one. I think just tell them you've been offered a position at another place and it just suits you better with the hours and the other opportunities (puppy preschool) that they have offered you there. But definately thank them for the opportunity to do a trial there. In the end you really need to do what is going to work out best for you and your family, and that sounds like the second job.
Well... I did it. I accepted the second job. Then I phoned the other boss this arvo and said that I wasn't the person for the job.
I explained that the job needed someone with energy who wanted to dig their nails in and get busy. I wasn't the person for that job. I said that the nurses were exhausted and the staff didn't know what was happening next, that wasn't where I am right now and what I need. He was disappointed, and I feel like crap atm... but its the right thing for us as a family and for what we want to do.
