It is a full time position, they told me when they called. I know, I am a nervous worrier when it comes to stuff like this, it is why I didn't just start working at the LTC facility in the first place - I was hoping I could avoid quitting there as a nurse, because quitting as a CNA seemed so much easier. And I know it is obviously not a guarantee - the reasoning behind the wording "long shot" But I want to be prepared if the situation happens to arise.

After graduating in May and not taking my boards until August, I feel like I waited too long and all the jobs were snatched up. I have worked in an LTC facility as a CNA for almost two years now, and really did not want to work there as an RN after graduation. However, after applying for countless jobs and only getting a few interviews (hearing nothing back from any of them), I took a job, in fear that if I waited too much longer I wouldn't ever find a nursing job. I took the job as of yesterday. Today, I got a phone call from a local hospital requesting an interview. I was caught off guard, having applied for this position long ago, but accepted the invitation to interview. My question is - although this could be a long shot, what happens if I get offered this position? Is it wrong for me to leave my current position (that I start training for tomorrow) in order to pursue a position that would better fit my career goals? I understand it could burn a bridge, but I doubt I would ever go back to the LTC facility after starting a career in a hospital. ANY SUGGESTIONS??
