Working as a software consultant RN

I say, take what you can get in this job market. Worry later about your versatility. Make a move later, if you can.

As a software consultant I can suggest you take the position. Helping with software that make jobs more efficient is a great feeling of accomplishment. Plus, when you transition into a better job in Nursing that you like you might actually use the software you helped work on and you can assist your co-workers :)

Go for it!

I agree, it is a fine job.. and I think it could easily be more of an asset that a detriment. Wish i could find something like that.

Have you looked into nursing informatics at all? There is a forum on here about NI which is very informative and can probably answer some of your questions and possibly guide you a bit.

Avoid that job at all costs. Forward their contact information to me, please.

Take it!!! Go work agency if u want bedside.

I would feed you to the roaming packs of hungry nurses were you to turn it down.

Cool job! This is a good opportunity for you.

heck yeah take it! :throcomp: Computers are now a huge part of nursing. It can only help you---and once you get into it, you may not want to leave it!

Take it! I have had both patients and computers crash on me; it's much easier to reboot a computer. And although they **** me off from time to time, I've yet to have a computer puke on my shoes or wear out the call light.
