Career Advice: To stay or not to stay??

[Nurse_BG]

I am really wrestling with an issue right now, and I need to hear from fellow nurses in order to see all of my options and new views I haven't thought of.

I was hired about a month ago in a nursing home facility. I had applied for a number of jobs and had a few interviews, the nursing home was the first place to hire me. The first week, I was asked to shadow different positions around the facility to get an idea of what everyone did. THe second week I had general orientation, the third week I started to train and this past week I had computer training. So far, the order of things hasn't been easy for a new employee, but I have stuck with it and am giving it my best shot.

This positions is nights (10p-6a) and I am in charge of 43 patients with the help of 3 CNA's. I am confident in my ability to learn this job, but frankly, I am seeing that this position is not for me. I am starting to worry that I settled for this position due to needing a job and insurance. The pay isn't great, and I am a zombie working nights. I know I need to pay my dues on night shift before I can work days, but at this facility there isn't much movement unless you pick up shifts. I have still been trolling job websites for other facilities, and a job position has opened up that is exactly what I was doing before I moved to where I am living now. I meet all the qualifications and it would be full time days. I know I will have to interview and there is a good chance that I won't get this job, but it has made me really start to think. I am a month into my orientation, about 6 shifts into training...is it absolutely HORRIBLE of me to leave if I find something that I would much rather do? There are no contractual agreements on how long I have to stay, but would it be unethical and terrible if I left this position a month into it? I really appreciate any advice or views!!
