Re: Im not sure what to do...

Yes the Cardiology office is full time and there are benefits. The cheapest benefits are like $60 something every two weeks, however, you have to spend a bunch out of pocket, before the copays even start to kick in. Yes believe me I am praying for a sign so I know what to do! I think they probably would say the hospital, but one reason would be the distance. I tried to find out about the benefits at the hospital by calling the recruiter. She said I will find out Tuesday when I go for my physical (that helps..NOT). I think she was a little annoyed about the other job offer..buy hey, I was trying to look at my options. Its hard to compare the two completely without knowing the details. The women at the hospital was saying something about full time benefits are 80/20 and part time 90/10, but I wasnt sure what that meant. Also she said you have to wait 90 days to bid, however, if its from part time to full time you can do so right away. I wonder if thats true and if it would have to be on the same exact floor though? I just wish I had more information to go by.

Re: Im not sure what to do...

Hello, The insurance thing will drive you crazy if you let it. I still believe you should take the job at the Hospital, because they did hire you first. You said the Cardiology office is a lot further away from your home, how you going to get there? If you are going to take that job at that Cardiology office, maybe your mom can drive you there and as you get to know people there; maybe you could work something out with someone there...it's just a thought. Take care, Matt...

Re: Im not sure what to do...

I am going to probably have to take the hospital job...(just feel silly and annoyed) because my mom insisted I go to the cardiology interview but now she pretty much wont take me. I was going to pay her of course, unlike some other people. Hope it works out though...I will !!!!!!!!!
