      Why have I not received a formal job offer?

      We are working hard to identify a position that would best match your skillset. We work with a larger team, and we want to assure you that we are still very interested in having you be a part of our AHS family. We appreciate your patience.  

      As you continue to wait for a formal offer, we encourage you to complete the self-assessment and profile if you haven’t already done so and if applicable, begin studying for NCLEX.  

      We look forward to welcoming you as a member of the AHS community.
