My office has been hiring for a nurse for FOUR MONTHS.
At the beginning of January, the current nurse said that she wanted to go part-time and when the doctor didn't pay attention to that, she said she was going to quit altogether in early February.
Since that time I have posted the job three different times, scheduled four rounds of interviews, and been in charge of massive amounts of labeled folders holding all of the sorted resumes (the folders weren't my idea, but the fact that they are pretty rainbow colors was).
The doctor has worked seven different nurses on what he calls "trial periods". The original nurse is still working Tuesdays and Thursdays, so he basically uses the "trial nurse" to fill in the empty spaces without actually hiring them (and he can't understand why they get angry when they find out that's what he's doing).
The trial nurses keep asking, keep calling, keep looking confused, wanting to know if he's hired, if the position has been filled, or if the doctor has made up his mind. The thing about it is that I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON.
Today I heard that he will probably just re-negotiate a higher salary with the original nurse and if that works out (and it looks like it's going to), he isn't going to hire anyone new at all. So basically, my four months of scheduling, calling, keeping the doctor on track, calling references HAS BEEN FOR NOTHING.
YOU MEAN WE COULD HAVE AVOIDED ALL OF THIS?? Grrrrrr. The only response I have to all of this is, "OH, FOR HEAVEN SAKE!"

You know, as mad as you are, I can't wait to hear how mad those nurses are!
And guess who has to deal with the angry nurses? And guess that that makes me? MADDER.
Two words...GET OUT!! :) My sister loves having you as an "out of the closet" stalker. She even made a wonderful reference to you in her latest post. Did you see it?
