Suggestions please on what to do

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post here on Allnurses. I'm a recent graduate, been looking for work since April this year :cry: I'm in Toronto and the job market here sucks. I have been offered a full-time Public Health Nurse job in Fort St. John (FSJ), BC and at a physician's clinic in Toronto. Now, I'm having such a difficult time deciding what do I pursue. Being a public health nurse is my long term goal and hopefully settle in either greater Vancouver or Toronto area . I'm unsure if FSJ experience would help me get a job after a year maybe (as that's how long I can stay there lol :o ). Or if I should just stay in Toronto and take the clinic job, would it help getting a public health nurse job or anything in pads? I would appreciate any insights on how to proceed. If it helps, I did my final placement at SickKids but had no luck getting a job there :cry:

Thanks

    I am also a new grad. I had to choose between 3 different positions as well recently. What I did was to write out the positive and negative aspects of each job and look at how they fit into my life (married with 2 kids). If you know what you want to do eventually, it is a positive thing to begin there and gain your experience there. Personally, I feel that it is important to work on skills right out of school, so a job where you could do that could be important. I know that there are plenty of nursing skills that I have not done in a clinical setting or even since the first semester in classes! You might really love one position, but another position might be a better choice for you right now. Also remember that this isn't the one and only time you will get a job. Take your time and choose one that suits you and that you will enjoy going to every day. I hope this helps you make your decision! Good luck!!:up:
