Hi all, I tried to post this question earlier, but I don't know what happened.
I will start my second semester of a bsn program spring 2014. Currently I work five eight hour shifts, which is 40 hrs every two weeks on a unit I hate for the past 3 years. I started a second job over the summer working registry 4 days a month at a hospital I love. There were no part time positions available when I was applying. I'm a nurse tech who floats to different units, and it has been an amazing experience. I have an interview next week for a hospital that is 10 mins from my home. I'm unsure which position I'm interviewing for because I did multiple applications. The positions were all 12 hrs. One was 24 hrs per wk and the other 36 hrs per wk.
My questions to other nurses, nurse managers, students:
1. Should I put the job I started over the summer on my resume? I've only been there 3 and a half months. I'm still on probation (which is 6 months). I'm unsure how the hospital I am interviewing for will view this. I'm thinking they might think I will be overwhelmed and won't hire me. I don't want questions like "How will she go to school, work here, and registry at another hospital?", "When will she have time to study?", and so on to come up.
2. If I get this job (fingers crossed), should I go registry at my job I've worked 3 years, until probation is over with (3 months) with the new job, and then quit?
I have my spring 2014 schedule, and the new position would be great. Once my schooling becomes more difficult, I would go registry at whichever two hospitals I am in. However, I really don't know what to do. I wanted to keep my options opened by keeping two jobs. This way, when I graduate, I won't have a hard time finding work.
