Does anyone know if second interviews have been done for Peds or PICU? That is who I spoke with at the first interview. At this point I'm not hoping for anything. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I am hoping some of you experienced nurses can help answer some questions for me. I graduated from nursing school last June and have been working for several months at a skilled nursing facility. I am also going to school full time to receive my BSN. I really dislike my job at the SNF and have started looked for other opportunities. My goal is to eventually be a pediatric nurse at a hospital. Since I am such a new nurse there isn't a ton of jobs I'm currently qualified for, however there are several postings in my area for pediatric clinic and school nursing jobs. I think I would really enjoy this work because I love kids, but my nurse friends keep telling me that these jobs are considered "easy, cushy jobs" and a hospital won't hire me later. I'm sure nurses in these settings do work hard. Would I be "shooting myself in the foot" to consider a clinic or school nursing job? I don't care about the low pay I would have in these settings but I would like to eventually work in a hospital and I don't want to limit that possibility in the future. Thank you for all your advice.
