by elprup Sep 10, '12OMG, I finally got a job offer for District School Nurse. Then the next day I get a letter in the mail stating I am one of three nurses they want to interview for a County PHN II position! 2 PHN's have retired. My school nurse interim permit is going to take a few weeks to be processed, so I have time to interview for the county! And just in case the School pulls its tentative offer, I will have a backup, I HOPE! I have always wanted County PHN because it feels like I belong there. But do not get me wrong, I would love the school nurse gig too and will do it happily with bells on. This drama of finding a hospital job with no experience is just not happening for me right now.Thanks for letting me vent, and any ideas or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Sep 10, '12 by amystudentRNI agree! And thats awesome you may have options! I was offered a job at a rehab facility, then got the offer for school nurse, so I ended up taking the school position, I have always wanted to work with kids..peds, or in the community. I also have ADN and had trouble landing hospital jobs. Also the hours for a new nurse would usually be nights or evenings..which I wouldnt mind so much..but my family kinda makes it harder.
I would totally take the school job, you can make a difference, and make a good living while doing it. The whole reason nursing is so great is u really do make a difference in peoples lives.
Good Luck to you and congratulations!!!
