u/Deep-Pay-2574

Just accepted and signed a RN position offer with OHSU. I’m making a big move being from out of state and I am a little paranoid about it. I am still waiting for them to have my background check completed and my start date is supposed to be July 20th. I never had any issues with background checks in the past but I am not sure how long it takes them to process it and give me the clearance. Is it too early to resign from my current job and start working on moving (from Texas). Also was there any cases in the past that OHS rescinded an offer because they suddenly are in a hiring freeze? I’m a little concerned after hearing about how competitive the market is and how much hospitals are financially struggling within Portland area. When am I supposed to feel confident that I really secured that job?

Just wanna seek insights about my situation. I am a nurse from out of state who got offered and accepted a medsurg position about 3 weeks ago. Start date is not until 35 days from now and still in the background/occ health check phase. Today I received a call from a different hospital for a different RN position (which is something that I really wanted) for $15 more for the baseline pay. Differentials are almost identical. The higher paying offer is unionized while the other one is not. I can see myself staying longer within the organization of the latter offer. Would it be really bad if I back out from the offer I accepted 3 weeks ago?
