Hello all, I was really hoping for some advice here. I am a new grad nurse in the Sacramento area. I have applied to so many hospital jobs, but we all know how the job market is for new grads right now. Which brings me to this dilemma.. I was offered a job as an Aesthetic Nurse in a Med Spa. The hours aren't great because I would be working 6 days a week. My only other option is a Skilled Nursing Facility at this point. My question is, if eventually I want to work in the hospital, would working in a med spa (which would be my only experience) hinder a future job? I'm torn as to if I should accept the Med Spa position or work in a SNF. Any advice would be helpful!

Neither would be ideal for transition to acute care in California (or much of anywhere else to be honest). I would look out of state for a hospital job if that is where you want to be in the long run.
