Hi! Im posting this for a friend. The program emailed her that if she would be staying in a particular hotel, they would pay for one night stay. When she did call the hotel however, the desk told her it was not familiar with any arrangement and refered her back tothe Program Coordinator. So my friend emails the PC, no reply. She calls but it's voice message only. She left a message, still nothing is heard. Her interview date is coming up so, she is asking me if she should just give her credit card and ask the program for a reimbursement. Is this done? BBB...or anyone...would appreciate inputs! Thanks! --she's over my shoulder!

Perhaps the PC is on vacation and just hasn't had a chance to get back with her. The front desk of the hotel may not be familiar with the billing practices.

yeah, she just paid for it herself...no more word from the PC...pretty long vacation of 2 weeks...don't they have a temp for that? oh well, it wan't really expected but you know with the exorbitant amount we spend, i can understand why she really jumped at the chance of a free hotel...

Many places don't hire a temp when people go on vacation. When I am off, I am off. I have a co-worker, but she handles the other side of the residency.
