4 months until start date....

[unussunu]

New Grad here. I have a potential start date in 4 months. It's a Psych Inpatient which I very much want.

I am looking for options of what to do over that period.

Right now my options are

1) work as tech in the unit until start date

2) continue job hunt

3) try to work in a private practice office and learn other skills through a former professor until start date.

Anyone have quality ideas not mentioned above? Are there other things I can do with a RN license for 4 months that gives great experience or great pay?

(other info...)

I worked in business for 4 years. 30 yr old male. Atlanta.

Thank you for your insights.

Four months is a really long time to wait, especially since you say "potential start date". But if you want it, I would combine options one and two. Continue there as a tech but still look for other jobs. You never know, you might find something that interests you even more. If you don't find anything else, you're still working and getting closer to that "potential" start date...
