I was called a couple of days ago to interview for my dream job, which is a graduate nurse postion in the OR. I passed boards in March so I now have a license. I already accepted a job in critical care at another hospital and have only been there 1 1/2 months so, I'm still in orientation. I'm I still considered a new grad? Should I revise my resume to reflex this current postion, even though it is not my dream job? I took it because I had not recieved any interviews other than it after applying to multiple positions at multiple hospitals. The job market is really tight where I live and I'm greatful to have the job I do, but I have considered it from the start a tempory fit. My plan was to work where I'm at for a year then try to get into the OR somewhere, but this opportunity has presented itself and I don't want to be rejected because I have a job already. If any of you can help to anwser my questions, I would really appreciate it.
Am I still a new grad???? Please help. This is a job that I see myself in for my entire career as a RN. I just want to be honest and truthful, but will it hurt me and keep me from getting an offer?

If the or is what you want then go for the job. Honesty is always the best policy but yes your still a new grad. Don't quit your current job until your accepted to the new position.
Thank Argo for the encouragement. I can only hope that I recieve a job offer.
