I am so thrilled to be on this board, you see I just passed my RN boards :monkeydance:
I need your advice, there is a strong possiblilty that I will be offered a job in a community health center, in the urgent care department. No nights only day hours.
I did my OB clinicals there, and I liked the center very much. I am just fearful that i will not develop skills like hospital nurses....
is there anyone that did go right to a community setting?
I do not know yet if I will accept the offer, what do you all think?
Go for what you may like! I have discovered after only almost a year post graduation that I am not a "hospital type." I have only admiration for nurses who take on that stress, I did it for a couple of months and was never so unhappy and full of self doubt. I was fortunate that the director of nursing told me about my current job as a nurse in an adult day health center! I work only days, and go home exactly at 3:30.. I sleep through the night and I am continuing to learn at my own pace.. Good luck
