Hello Everyone, I recently finished a second degree BSN program and reside in the Boston area! I am waiting to schedule a date to take the NCLEX exam. As a new grad I am very anxious about finding a job so I have begun looking at available opportunities for employment. Seeing that I completed the program with honors while maintaining a long distance relationship, a family member has been so generous as to offer buying me a ticket to visit abroad (where my boyfriend currently lives). I was really excited but after speaking with my boyfriend it looks as though April would be the best time to visit and we are looking at me staying for a minimum of 2 weeks and a maximum of 4 weeks. However, I am really scared that I will not get hired or find a job if I decide to take this vacation opportunity because it would infringe on training (and I would have to be honest during the interview that I have plans). I'm very torn. On the one hand I've never traveled in my previous college years and really want to go. On the other hand, I want to build a nursing career and really don't want this trip to jeopardize that. I know this may be a stupid question, but has anyone ever been in a similar situation? Does anyone have any suggestions, advice, or know if going on this trip will really effect my chances of getting employed? I've tried to talk to some other people about it, but not many of my friends/family work in the medical field and really don't know or have answers. I'm sorry if this seems to be a very mundane issue, but I really do appreciate any advice or thoughts!
