What would you do? Internship help...

I'm just wondering, is it bad to accept all of the offers that you get, then when you decide at the end, just decline the ones you don't want?

It's just kind of a tough decision as it is, and it doesn't help that the offers that I have received want to know THAT day or by the end of the week if you want to accept. This would be fine if I had gone on other interviews, but my other ones aren't until next month. They said that they will be interviewing other candidates for the spot if I don't accept.

So, if you were in this situation, what would you do? Would you accept all of the offers, accept the ones you like the most, just take the chance and wait? It's just scary because what if I decline this offer and then I don't get anymore? Does this happen a lot? How do these potential employers handle it? Obviously I wouldn't tell them that I found something better, but I would just say that something came up and I will not be able to attend their internship program.

Let me give you a little background: I have been offered one position that I am not completely sure about (not so much about the job, but the fact that it's 8 hour shifts), and I have 3 more interviews next month. My last interview is my top choice. I would hate to decline everything else and then not get this one.

I'm just a little stressed and worried. If anyone has been in this situation or has advice for me I would be very happy! :bowingpur

In this economy, I would take what I was first offered and be grateful that I have a job.

It is not a good idea to burn bridges and rescind offers that you have accepted. Just my $.02

Best of Luck in whatever you decide!

Well, this isn't exactly true in nursing. That is the beauty. There are so many choices and paths to take.

why would you not want the 8hr? many interships in my area are the full 12hr shifts...which is what you will be doing when you graduate.

pick the offer that you feel will give you the most experience
