But I asked the HR person and it turns out it’s the only unit in the whole hospital that has open positions.Either way, I appreciate your input. But again, they didn't throw out your application, if there were no other positions, they still wanted you.🙂 0 Likes

The LTACH job will teach you a ton. It won’t be your last job and it’ll be good experience. You won’t have to worry about not having enough to do, I promise. 2 Likes

This isn’t the only hospital I’ve applied to. I’ve applied to like 7. I haven’t been offered the LTAC job yet. The reason I’m worried is wanting to get into NP school within 2 years of working full time. So whatever job I take now may very well be my only job considering many hospitals in my area require 18 months to stay on one unit before moving internally.
