I need some guidance. I went for a job interview today and it is doing senior home care. Originally it was a full time position and as we were talking during the interview it came up that I was in my FNP program. So I expressed to her that I really want to pursue this and start working as an FNP when I am done. I told her it will take me two years to finish but in reality it will not. I think if all goes according to plan I should finish by this time next year. Anyhow, she then said well maybe you can do part time or per diem with us and we will train you the same way we would have trained you as if you were hired as a full time. I told her that this would be something that I would be interested in. The pay is $36 per hr which is fine with me. I would not be traveling to the seniors home they are all in an assisted living facility and would be doing the home care there but would be traveling throughout the three sites. So I left off with that interview and just said ok if I get it I get it, if not oh well.
I get home and then I get another call from one of my recruiters I have been working with and she got me an interview for Monday 6/20 and I told her I would go. She said that they are really looking for someone to work in Westchester and bronx doing homevisits. She said that they are really interested in my resume and want to meet me ASAP. So I told her I will go Monday. While I am on the phone with the recruiter, the lady from senior home care calls me and asks me when can I start that they are willing to take me on. I told her next week some time. She really caught me off guard. I did not know what to say and that was the first thing that popped out of my mouth. I told my recruiter what happened and she asked me to still go on this interview which I would anyway because maybe she could work out a schedule with me if the other one is part time. The interview on monday is willing to train as well on how to do their paperwork etc... Then if that don't beat all, I was working with someone else from a long time ago and he called asking me can I start somewhere next week. He left a message and I did not call back yet....
What do you do in situations like this. When I decide to take something or say I am interested then other offers start coming in. I mean I am not complaining because I know times are rough, but I want to be happy where I decide to go.
Just looking for some advice from my allnurses family....
I may be speaking out of turn, but a prison environment can be very dangerous. If you are a male going to a male prison okay. but not vice versa. Mixed genders in prison very dangerous.
Be very grateful and say a prayer for those who have no job at all :)
Then...pull out the party favors and have a big celebration!
Congrats, and for others, your turn will come, it's like fishing. ometimes you bait the hook and catch a fish, then another and another, other days, no luck at all.
I believe everyone looking for a job will surely find one. I did not have one for awhile and then boom I just started getting interviews and offers. I surely hope it will look up for everyone soon!
Biker nurse- I think I would stick with the ICU but that is just my opinion. I am scared of what may happen there. Good luck with your decision. I am sure you will make the right choice :)
What a great dilemma! I would pick whatever is the best fit for you. In these hard economic times, many will envy your predicament! Good luck and let us know how it turns out!
Thankyou all for your support!! I'm gonna go with the ICU. And believe me I'm not taking this for granted. Unemployment hasn't payed in a month and DH is self employed. It has been a struggle! I know we are all having a tough time with the economy . But to be 43 and RN for 4 years after 15 as LPN all in LTC, I never thought I get the chance to work where I wanted to be!! (the No expirence but how do you get it thing) :yeah:
