Do I have to continue working after I have accepted a job offer?
To maintain currency of practice, you must continue to work in acute care, specifically the area you are matched to, until you receive a confirmed start date. Having a gap working in acute care may affect your AHS job application.
Where can I get more information about public transit for my community?
Transit information for select urban areas large enough to maintain a public transit system can be found as links in the Community Settlement document.
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.
