I am 6 weeks into my first job as an RN (only two more or so left of orientation, yikes!) and according to my preceptor, I have no reason to worry about being let go before probation is up. During probation they can literally walk up to me and tell me to leave without a reason, so her telling me not to worry was awesome.
My resume currently consists of 2 jobs at a fast food restaurant (the same restaurant, just different locations). I climbed the ranks there from new cashier to assistant manager and worked for them for about 8 years. I continued to work as an assistant manager throughout orientation, both to help out and just in case I was let go from my nursing job. Yesterday it finally became too much and I gave my 2 weeks notice.
So I have 2 questions:
1) When should I add the RN job to my resume?
2) Once I do add the RN job to my resume, is it ok to take off the fast food job? It's the only other job I've ever had, and while I managed to turn some of the skills into ones I'd use as a nurse, they're pretty unrelated.
