I'm in a bit of a bind, would appreciate some feedback. While I had lots of interested unit managers in April, before I graduated, I knew I wouldn't be able to start anywhere until after summer ended, September.
Several classmates of mine, with the ability to start earlier, have (of course!) secured the jobs I might otherwise have gotten now. No one around here holds a job for too long, so getting a job I wanted in May held for a September start was just not reasonable.
Anyway, now I'm looking, doing the call-backs, and find that there's just not much out there for a new RN (if I had experience, well, that's another story, lol). Unless I want to travel a solid hour to other hospitals out of my area. I don't.
So, I have to decide on taking a position that was LAST on my list of preferences, because it's about 90% guaranteed now (mgr has to see about juggling personnel, who is really staying, etc). Or, doing a "wait and see" and hope something else more to my liking shows up in September. But of course, it could be October. Or whatever. And, lol, my dh would LIKE me to become EMPLOYED!
I'm thinking take the unit I didn't like much but make the best of it, possibly transfer to another unit in a year if I still think it isn't me...?
Thoughts?
