Career Advice: I am halfway (6 months) through a fantastic Primary Care NP Residency, however, I was just considered for a position working in the PeriOp department (its a desk job as an NP).
I have been an OR nurse for 5 years and want to work as an NP in the OR. I went the residency route because there were not any opportunities where I wanted and I was coming up on 1 year out of school without an NP job.
If offered this job, I want it, but I worry about the implications of not completing my residency and what that will look like on my resume in the future. I could let it pass and wait for another opportunity. I'd still be employed and learning great hands on skills.
Have you known anyone have a negative outcome from leaving a residency early?
