Volunteering is an excellent way to get familiar with the organization and it’s people. Follow up with any resume and application you place, persistence pays off.

Go to your interview. It is very unfortunate that you have to jump through so many hoops to get a job. My pinning ceremony was not even any fun. Like someone else said go to the interview then go out to eat with your loved ones.

meandragonbrett, thanks for the link to trauma.org. It was very valuable in this discussion.

I enjoy the push for higher education attainment for nurses at Magnet hospitals. It fits for my personal goals, so I definitely take advantage of the tuition assistance program.

I think you are right - start PT and see how you handle the work load, if it is manageable bump up to FT. That's my plan anyway -starting a ACNP program this summer, starting PT in program might move up to FT depending on how I handle the workload.
