I finally made it through nursing school! yay! I take my NCLEX next week. I am not trying to get ahead of myself but I did go on an interview for a summer position that starts next week. I currently have a job at a hospital that does not hire new nurses (as a PCT) that I would have to leave. I am nervous about quitting a full time position for a summer job but I am desperate for experience.
I also would be applying to many other facilities and to graduate nurse programs. If I was hired elsewhere I would hate to leave the "summer position" that I committed to. But at the same time gaining even a little bit of experience could help me find a position in the long run.
What would you do? Im trying to weigh all my options but this decision is difficult for me. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks so much,
Tina
