Would you move far away from your family and live on your own in New Mexico as a nurse technician making 11.35/hr ? ( The job is meant for nursing students) Not really for RN grads
OR
would you stay home and take the 2 offers that you have: nursing home and home care?
Which job do you think would give you better skills and make you a better candidate for hospital nursing?
I agree with the pp. I wouldn't move away from home for that amount of money. Stay at home and work home health and nursing homes while you apply for hospital jobs or you'll find yourself struggling in NM with no guarantee of a hospital job.
I would go with either RN job. Lets face it you need the RN experience to move to a hospital at some point. I think this is the way to go. If I had to choose it would be the nursing home, because home care intimidates me but I think either would be fine.
There is no way I would move away from home for a non-RN position, especially if I have 2 RN offers in my area. The job(s) that would make you a better candidate for a hospital position would be the home care and nursing home. Take care!
seems like a no-brainer. if your willing to make that kind of move you should be able to find a rn position at a hospital somewhere. In the meantime work at the nursing home and start building up some skills.
