Hello to all I hope everyone is fine.... I am a new grad RN still in my third week orientation on a postpartum floor which I love. (Everthing but the hours and co-workers) My shift is going to be the 3-11pm shift which I will have to wait to go to work all day and will never see my family but the 2 days I'm off that week (bad thing about 8 hour shifts and evenings).. TODAY, I got a call from a wonderful and well respected hospital in my area asking my to interview for a NICU/nursery , postpartum, or Labor and Delivery job for a 7a-7p, which would be better for me and the ones I love. The good thing is I was told by my NM that I have a 30 day period starting a week ago. that i can leave with no questions asked and they can fire me if they see I dont fit. SO I'm not contracted in so to speak. I'm not on schedule but with a preceptor. However, it doesnt fit my personality and values to quit something as soon as I start. But NICU is something that I want to specialize in (Neonatal Nurse Practioner )and is my true hearts desire. And 7a-7p right out of school is wonderful, very hard to pass up. And not to mention the great retirement!!! give me some advice please,, Sincerly the New Nurse.... :uhoh21: Lastly: if any of you have worked the 3-11 shift how did you cope??
