I have been looking for a full-time job for over a year now. I do need benefits and full-time hours, but I have had an interview offer for a part-time position in a doctor's office. It would be 2 days a week and every other Wednesday. It would offer opportunities to pick up extra shifts for others nurses.
Would this be a smart decision even though I am looking for full-time? I figured it would give me some financial help and experience until I can find full-time....What are your thoughts?

Sure, it is better than nothing and you can still have days off to interview............

What's going to be bad is if you take this position and then you are offered a full time position some where else after this company has put money into training you and you quit on them in a few months. I am not saying don't take the job at all, I'm just saying that would suck! I feel bad that you are in this position but you have to do what you have to do to survive in this world! Good luck! And another thing this might lead into a full time position. I hope things work out for you.

Part time is better than no time!
Personally, I prefer part time work. If you can swing it financially, you might find you like it too!
