So I was a bit skeptical of the job market so I was grateful to get this offer- My preceptor offered me this opportunity. It wasn't my ideal job. But I was grateful to get the experience. I don't start till next month.
Don't get me wrong. I don't anticipate it will be a terrible position. I have been working inpatient psych for 7 years. It was my goal to work outpatient after I finished school so I did not have to work weekends and holidays anymore.
With this position, I will be working a lot of nights and weekends. Ahh, same as I am now as a staff nurse. I don't work nights now but I work every weekend in my current position as an RN. So that's why its not my ideal job. However, the compensation makes up for the inconvenience.
So here it is, the last few days boom! I get calls from a couple of places that I sent my CV to a while back to set up interviews! They are all out patient clinics. So definitely what I prefer. So would you keep interviewing? Even though you already accepted another position? Unprofessional to accept another position and tell my preceptor I won't be taking the position he offered, in the event I am offered one of these other positions?
