Hello all Somewhat of a new RN here seeking some insight or advice. I have 4 years exp being a bedside nurse. First 3 years of which were on an adult med/surg adult and most recently 1 year in ER setting. I have an interview tomorrow morning for a school nurse position through sunbelt staffing. What is the transition like from bedside to school RN?

Update: Got offical job offer from hospital B and I accepted. Starting 1/7. I am pumped!

I took the job at A because it is the only or first actual job offer I had gotten at the time. I was impressed with the facility and the interview process wasn't bad. It felt like a no brainer at the time to say yes.

I don't see myself working for the distant hospital in my future, if I had work local. However, still no actual offer letter....

Hello All New grad here. Pasted the boards a month ago and had been applying to jobs. So as of right now, I have accepted an offer at a hospital A . I really like hospital A but its an hour drive away, about 34 miles. I am supposed to start orientation Monday 12/5. As of this afternoon, I have another offer from hospital B. Same pay as hospital A, same unit (both med/surg), similar training (very least 3 months preceptor-ship). I also really like hospital B. The difference is that B is a 20 min drive and is full time. Hospital A is only 2 twelve hour shifts a week and B is 3 twelve hour shifts a week. The only con I have with hospital B is that orientation does not start till 1/7/2019. What that means for me is another month out of work but I have already waited this long ( 15 months now).... Any advice out there? Thanks

Thanks all for the replies. I am located in New York and looking to get licensed in NY.

My school's May graduating class got their ATT first week of August =( So like 5 weeks was the earliest...

Like the title says, I am a recent graduate of an accelerated BSN program. My finals were 2 weeks ago. I passed everything thrown at me and I did well. In Aug 17, I quit my job as a unit clerk/psych tech to attend this nursing program full time. My official graduation is 9/1/18. I am currently waiting for my ATT to schedule the NCLEX. In the meantime, I am preparing for the NCLEX with Saunders and Kaplan. My concern is that this could take months to take the NCLEX and get RN position. Would it be worth it to apply for my old position if still available or apply for a CNA/unit clerk at another hospital?
