Help! Freaking out about jobs!

OK, here's the deal. I am graduating in May with a BSN. About 2 weeks ago I was offered a job on a LTAC floor. The manager seems really nice, I guess the pace is a little more laid-back than a regular med-surg floor. I also have an interview in a couple days at a university hospital for an OR internship that I was really excited about. BUT LTAC called me and said they couldn't hold my job any more and I panicked and took it, figuring that the OR internship was a long-shot anyway. But now I'm getting more excited about the OR interview...what should I tell the LTAC recruiter when she calls to work out a start date? If I tell her that I'm very sorry but I'm still thinking about it and she calls other people I might be stuck without a job if I don't get the OR offer. But if I work out a start date, fill out the paperwork and DO get the other offer I would feel really crappy quitting.

Why did I do this to myself!? Geez...

Call and and pester them about the OR internship. Tell the LTAC that they will have to wait. Do what you love or you will hate what you get stuck doing. Besides, I have a feeling you have the OR postition anyway...CONGRATULATIONS!!

Don't jinx me...I haven't had it yet! But I have a feeling they wouldn't be wasting a whole day on interviewing me and letting me observe if they weren't seriously considering me. I think I'm just going to "accidentally" call the LTAC recruiter while she's out of the office for a couple days and see how the OR interview goes...

Good plan! Breath deep, and please for God's sake, don't take a job you don't want!
