I have worked as an RN for a year in an outpatient orthopedics setting. I left due to wanting to expand my horizons, poor management and office politics. In my search, I have found several school positions for which I applied. I have now been offered a high school nurse position full time. I am hesitant to take it which may just be due to the unknown and bad experiences on last job. I will also be the only RN with a LPN there half a day. It is 9-12th grade, 1100 students. (The retired nurse works 3 days week/agency nurse other 2 days currently) I have applied for other positions NICU, Labor/delivery, outpatient pediatrics, long term care nurse assessor, etc and I'm waiting to hear back. (Applied to mother baby but did not get job) I don't know if taking the school nurse position would be best or to see if something else works out. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi, I am a new grad RN considering going into developmental disability residential group home nursing with a well known reputable organization in the area where I live. Is this a good idea right out the gate or do you think this would hinder my possiblities if I wanted to branch out to other things in a few years. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
