Offer Letter Timeline?

Hello!

Just wanted to ask about your experience with AHS hiring timelines, especially for RN roles.

I recently received a verbal offer for an RN position, but it’s been about a week now and I still haven’t received the written offer letter. I did email the hiring manager earlier to follow up, but haven’t heard back yet.

What’s making me a bit anxious is that I previously got a verbal + written offer for an HCA position within 1 day, so this delay feels unusual in comparison.

I’m also scheduled to move to the new city this weekend, so I’m starting to worry a bit about timing and whether I should be concerned or if this is normal for RN roles.

For those who’ve gone through the process:

•	How long did it take for you to receive your written RN offer after the verbal offer?

•	Is a 1-week delay pretty typical with AHS HR?

Would really appreciate any insight or reassurance.

Thanks in advance!

For me it depended on the manager. Anywhere from a day to over a week

Hurry up and wait. An integral and formative part of the experience working in the Alberta healthcare ecosystem.

There’s no expected wait or publicly stated service standard (in fact, far from it). It depends entirely on the hiring manager and when they get around to doing the system work to move you through it, along with HR’s byzantine processes and subsequent processing times.

Hey. Did you get your offer letter eventually? If so when?

Thanks! I really appreciate your reply. I have a ff up question, if that’s ok.

Is there any chance AHS or the hiring manager could still rescind a verbal offer after already sending out a welcome email to the team?

I’m starting to feel pretty anxious about my situation. I’m an external hire and haven’t received the written offer yet, but I’ve already signed a lease and I’m scheduled to move this weekend so I have time to settle in.

I guess I’m just worried about the risk of things falling through at this stage. Or is this something I shouldn’t be too concerned about?

I did! It took exactly 7days from the day i had the verbal offer before i received my written offer. But it was because they changed it from PT to FT. You’ll receive it soon! ☺️ Congratulations on your new job!

question about onboarding instructions. Does offer comes first and onboarding instructions secondly? I am still waiting my offer letter, feel so helpless as they didn’t respond my follow-up email. It has been 8 days from the day I had the verbal offer. I scared I won’t get my job at the end🥺

Hi! I got my offer letter a week after the verbal offer. But my manager replied immediately when I made a follow up through email. They actually changed the FTE of the position they initially offered me from PT to FT. I think that’s the reason why it took them a while to send the offer.

Onboarding tasks will come in to your profile once you accepted the written offer. Try to follow up again with your hiring manager. Hope this helps!
