New RN grad question, please!

Specializes in Pediatrics.

Hi all,

I have been looking for a job and I have realized that most of the jobs that I qualify for are 12 hour shifts at hospitals, BUT I have a 2 1/2 year old son, and the only decent day cares centers are only opened from 6:30a-6:30p (which would not work for a 7a-7p job). The hospital has a day care for their employess but I am not crazy about it and I DO NOT want to put him in day care for 14 hours!! I was wondering if anyone knew what type of nursing a new grad could do that would be 9-5 hours??? Am I dreaming.....LOL!!!!! Thanks so much.

School nursing and MD office nursing come to mind, but they may want you to have experience. Another option is a surgery center or OR in a hospital. Try the Health Dept. (pay is not good, but you are requiring certain hours and may have to compromise). Good luck. The most impt. job now is your baby.
