:Di am sorry...i heard....hello all, i am a new grad and i know how super tuff this economy is yet i was fortunate enough to land a job theat they are willing to train me for after only a month of being an rn. so i am asking you, oh ppl who are fortunate to work in this tough market and you, oh ppl who have had ur license for a year plus and still no job offers....should i take this job or should i wait for something that may or may not come my way (by the looks of the job market and some hospitals not wanting to even consider new grads.......its possible but highly unprobable that another interview, let alone offer, will be in the near future),

take the job. take the job take the job. and dont forget to show them that yes indeed it is worth it to hire new grads (and train them in need be). who knows....maybe a successful new grad hire will make them more open to new grads in the future;)

Thank you for all the quick responses. I deeply appreciate it. I heard from an experienced home care nurse, that you don't learn as much in a home care setting, than a hospital setting. Does anyone know if this is true or not? I will probably take this job, but also volunteer in a hospital to get that exposure. Anyone who knows about the home care and would be kind enough to share some information or experiences, that would be great! Thank you!

so did you take the job?

The recruiter said he could call me back last week...didn't call back, so I call him back...he said the department is in the process of reviewing its application and stuff...but decision will be made soon... :confused: it makes me pretty confuse and worry. I thought everything went pretty well but...I don't know =.= how long is the wait and what if the decision is not what I am hoping for... sad

Take it! You will be so happy and will be treated so much better than in the hospitals. You won't have to ask the CNAs to do their jobs; you won't be dealing with egomaniac doctors as much, there won't be a bunch of people hogging the nursing station, and most of all, you won't be trapped for a long shift with the same patients like a slave all day. Be glad you got an offer. Others have been looking for over a year!
