I graduated last december 2009. In May, I landed a full time position on a med-surgical floor. I was of couse happy and my family proud. I was finally making a regular income.
Midway through orientation, I got a full scholarship offer from a university. However, they want me to study full time in order to retain it.
I realized I could not work and study full time at the same time. My director said I couldnt work part time because Im only a new graduate. Consequently, I resigned. It was the hardest decision, since my preceptors were awesome and the hospital environment was good.
Now, Im just gonna go to school. I cant help but wonder what future employers would think of my resume. Will I still be considered a new graduate in 2012 (year i get the bsn) if i dont work in the next 2 years? I should have just gone straight to the bsn years ago...I feel like I keep making the wrong decisions and starting to despise myself....
