Hi! I am a new grad who just passed boards (yay!). I accepted a position in a level 3 NICU before I was done with school. I thought it was my dream job. I did a preceptorship/internship in a different level 3 NICU before school ended and it was ok but I wasn't completely and utterly in love with it, then again, I haven't found any nursing that I feel like that with. I am definitely a person that likes to have my weekends off and likes to have holidays off (I know that is rare and unheard of in hospital nursing). I am scared to start my orientation in a few days because I'm not sure hospital and/or NICU nursing is for me and im just nervous to work in an intensive care unit also. I moved to a new state for this job and I can't tell if this is just me being scared or if I'm really second guessing my career choice. I've always considered a clinic nurse job but I don't know how much they hire new grads or if I'd be able to find a job! I wish I would have researched this more before I applied for jobs, my school pushed hospital nursing a lot though so it was unheard of to work in a clinic right out of school. I don't know if I should quit before I start orientation so they don't waste money on me or if I should stick to my commitment until at least 6 months or so?? Thoughts? Opinions? Anything will help.
