Hi, I have just officially hit my 1 year mark of being a RN and I am also relocating due to family reasons. I have applied to multiple positions of varying specialties. I currently work in a cardiac stepdown unit. My dream specialty is NICU. I have an in person interview but it isn't until July 1st, because they want meet me in person. However, I have a phone interview with a cardiac stepdown unit on Wednesday of this week. I'm torn because in the chance that this job offers me a position, I don't know if I should turn it down or accept it. I want to wait out for the NICU position, but there's no guarantee I will even get the job, especially considering my experience I am more likely to be offered the cardiac job instead. I'm not happy with the adult population and have always known that I would want to change specialties. I also know that RN positions have been difficult to come by so I don't want to in between jobs for too long once I relocate, but also want to be happy. Any advice I would greatly appreciate.
