Summer Externship? Yes or no.

I am VERY interested in pediatrics and my heart is really set on it. However, I have not had my pediatric rotation yet so it screwed me over when trying to get an externship at a pediatric hospital. I was offered a summer position as an extern on the Neuroscience floor. This hospital also has a women's and children's hospital so do you think I could possibly get a job there after school--since I was not actually working in that department? I'm not sure if I should accept the job since it is not somewhere I would want to work long-term, or if I should just stick through it. If I did not take the job, I would be nannying again this summer (ultimately making more money). Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I would take the externship. You never know, you might like the floor - and if they like you, too, it's just about a 100% guarantee of a job after graduation. It is also going to look good to future employers whether you want to work on that unit or not. If money is a concern, there is no reason you can't do the externship and be a nanny. I knew my schedule for the days I was going to work in my externship way in advance, so you could plan around them.
