Should I Take the job?

Nurses Job Hunt

Published

I have been going on many interviews for many types of positions as a new grad RN. I've been pretty lucky to be going and meeting with so many people, so I don't want to take anything for granted.

I was offered a position as a traveling RN for a non profit. It isn't my top choice because I am also waiting to hear from a number of other opportunities (who I've followed up with), including a hospital, a clinic and another non profit traveling RN.

My question - should I take the job and keep looking/waiting to hear back from the other places?

Thanks for the advice!!!

Travel RN as a new grad?

No no no!

I should clarify about what I mean when I say "travel RN." I would be making visits to different locations within the 5 boros. Most days it would be between queens and the bronx.

Different visits to homes or locations of practices?

It still doesn't sound like something a new grad should do.

No. If you have to leave the state and get some hospital experience.

You won't be visiting people to say hi, you have to know what you are doing. Even if they say orientation training available this could be just a couple of weeks. This is a very independent role and you wont have people around you to help if the crap hits the fan. Travel nurses should have at least 1 year experience on a busy med surg floor.
