Any job?

Is having a job better than no job when being considered for employment? When I say having a job, I mean at LTC, home health or something outside of nursing -  if apply to acute care. 

What I don't get is that these hospitals are hiring agency, their employees are unhappy, their departments are understaffed, and they cannot find nurses? Yeah right.

    In my experience, any work experience is valuable—even if it's not directly related to nursing. When transitioning to nursing, many skills are transferable across different job settings, whether it's community care or a hospital. Ultimately, what matters is your ability to discuss patient care and prioritize safety. I've seen LPNs who initially struggled to find hospital jobs, but after gaining experience in long-term care (LTC), they eventually secured hospital positions. Similarly, some nurses started at more distant hospitals and later transitioned to facilities closer to home. I hope this insight helps!

    LTC and Home Health are within nursing, just a different speciality than acute, etc. 

    As far as any job being better than no job, guess it depends on if you are in a position you need your bills paid.
