Dilemma!

Hey everyone...

I don't know if many of my fellow new grads would consider this a dilemma... They may even call this a blessing instead, the way the market is for us new graduates...

I just graduated this May with my BSN and have an interview lined up next week for an ED position. I have a prior BA in psych and while in nursing school have worked as a crisis screener at my local hospital's ED. Today I was called by my supervisor, urging me to apply for a part time RN position that is available on our psychiatric unit.

I don't mind psych but feel there is little clinical use involved in comparison to the ED, or any other areas of nursing.

The ED position is no guarantee as I still have yet to even interview, but on the contrary my supervisor has made it seem as if the psych position is mine if interested.

My question is, should I apply to the psych position anyway? Or should I wait and see first how my interview for the ED position goes first? I know I should be thankful for not only 1 but 2 potential job offers, I just want to make sure I make the right moves, as I don't want to burn any bridges.

Thanks in advance!

    I'd interview for both and see what happens.

    Same hospital? If so, they'd understand you'll pick what works best for you. Different hospitals? Apply for both because you can't count on getting one or the other.

    I'd do both....then choose. You never know which one will appeal more in the interview process..
