Dilemma

Nurses Job Hunt

Published

Problem: I was offered my first nursing job at hospital A and moments after I accepted it I learned of another, much more desirable position, at hospital B. I applied for the second position because it's really my ideal job situation. However, I am now getting ready to start orientation at hospital A. If I get an interview at hospital B, is it morally right for me to go? Would it be horrible to accept a job with hospital B? I expect to get an interview and feel pretty good about my chances for getting the job for reasons I can't share. But I also feel guilty about potentially resigning from the perfectly good job that I have now.

I would appreciate opinions from the wise and experienced nurses here on AN.

Thanks!

I don't think it's wrong to go to an interview with hospital B if that's where you really want to work. I personally would not risk a current job over a possible job opportunity. Good luck with whatever you choose.
