new grad float?

Need some advice please!

Im a new RN grad and was offered a position for 3 shifts a week which I dont mind but the dilemma is it's basically a float position which I am very iffy about being that I am new. My questions are:

1. Has anyone floated as a newbie on med surg?

2. Is floating as a new grad a disaster trap?

3. Im leaning towards taking it simply b/c i need to get working already. Day shift is 730-4pm and evening is 330-12mid which would be a better shift? I prefer days but because of this floating thing im thinking days would be too hectic. Any advice? :confused:

I would NEVER accept a float pool type position as a new grad. You still have to learn the real-world side of nursing, which is next to impossible while bouncing from unfamiliar unit to unfamiliar unit. You need a good year of solid experience before doing this IMHO.
