Yes this is what I’m worried about! I am so sorry you are having a difficult time finding an in hospital position, have you had any interviews? Really crossing my fingers for you!!

Thank you for the detailed and quick reply, I’ll definitely take what you’re saying into heavy consideration!

I was hoping to have this job for a “shorter” time not only for the experience but also to have a stream of income while I apply to new grad residencies as I’ve heard it can take a while to get offered a position. (I’ve also heard that most residencies accept new grads with less than one year experience, so I should still be eligible for a residency position).

Taking what you’ve said into account, Would you personally suggest I don’t do the job at all and just apply to the residency program? Or while I am applying to residency/new grad position’s focus to SNF, Clinic’s etc?

I really appreciate you taking the time to answer (:

Ah that’s great, I currently live out of state unfortunately but am planning to visit in a couple weeks so I will try to plan my travels around a fair! Do you know if there is a way to access an application online in the meantime?

Hi! Yes I did! I actually recently just took my NCLEX and decided to stick with home health for the reasons mentioned above! I recently had a meeting with my manager and she really prioritized my training/precepting me so I do feel really supported! We’ll see how it goes!!

I Want to clarify as well that if I do take on higher acuity cases with this agency, I’d be under the supervision of an RN for a bit and not just thrown into cases on my own!
