Conflicted about accepting job offer as a new grad

[liljd, BSN]

[h=5]I'm conflicted about taking a position at a family clinic in Los Angeles where there will be no training provided yet they will expect me to perform as an experienced nurse and the only nurse there. I'll have to do everything a clinic nurse does with a huge scope working from peds to older adults while also managing the MAs and LPNs. It's a pretty autonomous position. The pay is 30/hr. This sounds too risky to me with no training, but i know how rough the job market is right now. I have to make my decision by tomorrow...should I take it knowing that there might be something better that comes along? I just started the volunteer process with the VA and know a nurse working in the ER who said they could get me a job there.

I also have a phone interview this Monday with AltaMed, which could be promising. My position here is different because I am an HRSA Nurse Corps Scholarship recipient and I have to serve at a specific facility.

Follow you heart. If your heart is telling you that the position is not right for you and you have other opportunities than don't Take it. It would also depend on how many months you have been out of school since the HRSA scholarship only gives you a limit amount of time to secure a specific position. Are the other job opportunities eligible sites? Can you take the position and still go to the other interview? Just make a pros and cons list and go with your gut.
