First Nursing Position

Hi! I am currently in my last semester of nursing school, and looking to apply for jobs soon. I really have a passion for L&D/NICU, and then also geriatric/hospice. I currently work as a nursing aid at an assisted living community that I love! I am so torn about where I want to apply and work. I am wondering if it will be too much work for a first time nurse to be full time at the hospital (hopefully in L&D or NICU) and also PRN/once per week as a nurse at my current assisted living community. Any thoughts and advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

    My opinion: focus on your primary job once you have landed one. The first year is a demanding one in nursing. If, after that first year, see if there is any demand for prn once a week at the assisted living. If needing extra money is an issue, picking up overtime at your regular job is the easiest option.

    Don't be too torn about where to apply. Good jobs are hard to find, and a job application is not a job offer. Apply to many places.
