I've been out of school 6 months. I have been on a few interviews and even had three offers but had to turn them down b/c I didn't really like any of the opportunities. One of the guys was just a jerk (he was very confrontational about my educational choices), and I ended the interview (politely) and walked out, and I can't believe he offered me the job, lol. When he called, I said, "You're kidding?" Anyway, I am just continuing to look for something that is the right fit, but I am just not finding anything. I'm not in any hurry except that I don't want some gap on my CV to become a problem in itself. The job is going to be stressful enough as a new practitioner without being in a place I don't want to be!
In the meantime, another colleague has asked me if I want to teach a BSN physical assessment course. WTH, I don't have anything else to do this fall, lol. What do you think? Does it help or hurt me do something now that is not a practitioner position? Is it looking bad for me that I am taking so long to take a position? Should I take a job I don't really want just to get some experience? How long is too long? If it isn't a problem, I'll go teach physical assessment and keep waiting for just the right situation.
Thanks for your thoughts!
