Thanks for your replies everyone. My dream job is to be in a Trauma room. That's my ultimate goal right now but I would work in almost any department until I can reach my goal. I have 2 kids and my little cousin died from cancer a few years ago in that same Hospital that I got the offer. I think I'd do a great job in whatever department I go because I am very dedicated to doing my job (whichever it may be) greatly and with lots of passion. Today I got another offer at a small level II ER, which I'm considering cause it is closer to my goal than pediatric oncology. I'm kind of torn and don't know what to do LOL, I'm just thankful to God to even have any opportunity to work at this point because being a new grad with this economy is something else! Thank you for your advice again!!

Hi I just finished my BSN at Interamericana from the English program. If I'm to be honest here is the deal: if you want a fast (1 year ADN or 2 year BSN) degree you may wanna go to the Inter. But if you want to truly learn and practice hard, unless you are willing to do a lot of self teaching, go somewhere else. It is a very frustrating program with an administration that couldn't care less about their students, (except for the teachers). They hire people who are not prepared to do the job and you will have huge gaps unless you take the time to study on your own. They don't have any pre-requites and you may apply as late as you want probably until July. I don't know about UMET but I was disappointed with my education at Inter.

Hi everyone: I am new to the website and a new grad also. I have started looking for work and my dream is to become a nurse anesthetist some day but along the way I would love to experience a trauma room or an ED, maybe ICU, which I'll need to do my master's anyway but I'm dying to experience that type of fast paced unit. Anyways, I have just been offered a position in a Hem/Onc pediatric unit and even though is not my dream job I'm considering it seriously because I need the money and the experience to get to where I want to be. I was wondering if some of you can tell me what it is like to work in a pediatric oncology unit, the good, the bad and the so-so. And perhaps even give me some advice, should I take the job or should I wait for my dream job? Thank to all in advance!!
