Is it ok to take a non-nursing job?

[Loloberry]

I am currently a new grad tele RN with about six months under my belt. My husband is active duty military and stationed in another state. Despite looking for jobs for almost a year where lives, I have found nothing. We have been apart for two and a half years because of school and me being offered a job where I live. It is really taking a huge toll on my marriage. I am considering looking for a non nursing job so that we can be together. My student loans don't allow me not to work. I would continue my nursing job search however. Is this a terrible career move? I am nervous that if I move at this point, potential employers may look down on me taking a non nursing job while I have such minimal nursing experience. I feel like I have worked too dang hard to sabotage my nursing career, but I don't know if my marriage can take the distance much longer. Do any more experienced nurses have any advice?

You need to do what's right for you and your family and if that means temporarily working a non nursing job so be it. Do what you feel is right. Good luck!
