Hello All!
As my name implies, and because I know how difficult it is for new grads, I am truly blessed to have such a dilemma. After getting off to a rocky start - fired from my first job - I accepted a part time position. A week after beginning orientation, I received an offer for per-diem work, but neither position is ideal.
Job #1
Job #2
I've thought about trying to do both, but I'm not sure it's a wise decision as a new grad.
I'm leaning towards giving notice to the part time and accepting the per-diem position because of the flexibility, full time orientation, no floating and I would only have to give up one weekend. I also more have peace about the decision.
Thoughts on this? What else should I take into consideration? Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Will you be able to get 16 hours a week at your per - diem job?
That would be the only thing to look at....the guarantee of those hours. It depends if you need the hours or the flexibility.
Good Luck!

If u have a family, take job 2, 1 weekend a month is enough.
Thanks for the replies. I am hoping that I can change my schedule to every other weekend at the part.time and pick up shifts as needed with the per diem.
