Should I Accept this Job Offer?

[PurpleDelight]

Ok it is not really a job offer but I have an interview with a hospital that is really far away from me (I'm angry at myself for applying there but I was desperate). I don't drive and the hospital is located 3 hours and 40 mins away from me by public transit (2 buses and a long train ride). If I drove it would be an hour. I am a New Grad and I need work but I honestly did not think they would call me back. I was really hoping for one near me to call me back. Also living that far away is not an option for me. If I am traveling 7 hours a day (to and fro combined) and working 12 hours back to back wouldn't that be detrimental to my health. It is a great public hospital affiliated with a public research university. They have a great new grad RN orientation program. This is why I am upset it is really far ....What do you think I should do?

Sam the "impossible" I was speaking about is the fact that OP says it was impossible for her to get a car that is very possible even it she had very bad, credit getting a car is NOT impossible. But the commute is unreasonable to say the least. Personally if I took the job I would find a room to rent in the area.

Now this all makes sense with the 'visa' issue.
