Re: Would Anyone Hire Me If.....
You should sit for the NCLEX-PN when you get the chance. It is good practice for the RN exam. You never know what the future may hold, there are circumstances that could possibly occur precluding you finishing your program, then you would have your PN. If you think about it, you can come up with possible interview lines of questioning where you could place a positive view on getting your PN license. All of the people in my school who sat for the PN exam when our school allowed us to do so, did it b/c we were in positions where we were working; some got higher paying jobs. As far as your questions regarding employers looking at your future plans, you do not have to tell them what your plans are, after all, you have no idea what may cause you to change your plans. When I got my PN license, I was hired b/c I was going to get the RN, so the PN helped me get hired early. You can always let your PN license lapse after you get the RN. Good luck on your future plans.

Re: Would Anyone Hire Me If.....
Take it if it can get you into a facility you want to be in as a RN. I think it's kind of wrong to take a position, have them train you, then quit right after. Usually, one year is appropiate. Besides, on the resume, a 5-month stint looks odd. The recruiter will be thinking "Retention problem??" Unless you don't put it on the resume, which makes the whole deal pointless.
