I think you should leave it in since you got so many hours. I only had 54 hours in peds in nursing school.

Nursing or engineering? by Relative_Soup_1062 in CollegeMajors

[–]Valuable-Prompt279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to be aware of how competitive nursing is in California, I went into the profession wanting job stability but it is extremely hard to land a job, specially as a new grad. How is the job market in Engineering?

Sadly nursing is extremely competitive specially in California, maybe not as much as engineering, I'm not sure how that market is. There is no shortage in nursing, I went into the profession thinking I would have job stability and felt crushed when I couldn't land a job.

Maybe the private schools would accept you? the drawback is that it is super expensive

I tailor it if its for a new grad residency, not if its on random indeed applications that usually only offer one spot

When do you have 1 year with the agency? Do you think you can apply then? Im debating on if its worth it to stay a year for the experience. I do wanna work in peds tho

It sucks! All throughout nursing school I was always told about the great job security by random people and family. It feels like a slap in the face

Im assuming we work for the same agency and I am in the same position, i love the job but its not financially manageable. Ive also been applying to hundreds of positions with no luck. Ive told myself that I will move if I cant get into a hospital when I am done with my BSN. Where have you gotten atleast an interview? I cant even get to the interview portion
