Ms.RN1

I'm looking for some of your expert opinions on a situation I am in. Quick, a little about me, I graduated with my BSN in December 2012, passed the NCLEX February and got my license early April. Ever since, I've been applying constantly for RN positions with not even a single interview. My dream is to work in OB, eventually get my CNM but that's getting ahead of myself. With this job market, I was not picky and applied to all types of positions. I attended job fairs and a few weeks ago received a call from one of the companies that had my resume from a job fair. I went on an interview and was offered a full time position, but it is in a non medical inpatient psychiatric facility. I accepted the job, as it was my only offer and in this economy I am grateful to have a job. I have heard that if you want to go into a field other then psych, you shouldn't stay in psych for long as you lose your medical skills (in my case I haven't even had an opportunity to practice them at all yet as a nurse) and you are not marketable outside of psych. On the other hand, if I didn't accept this job, I'd be not working as a nurse at all. I plan to continue to apply to jobs in OB or Med/Surg while working. I would like to think that a year of Psych nursing would look better to a year of not working at all, but is this the case? Does it look that bad that my experience will be in psych? Would I have a better chance eventually getting into OB if I don't take this position? And just to make it clear, I am interested in this position, I love psych and I think I will love the job, it's just that I love OB more and unfortunately they are very different specialties.
