I am graduating nursing school in june, i have 2 job offers in an ICU i have 2 make a decision by 1/31/08?

SO i always wanted to work with children and the job im offered is not working with kids, ive been tryin to get in contact with a childrens hospital but they are not setting up an interview with me. Should i settle for the job offer i have or wait for the one i want which i could possibly not get???

You can wait until the last minute, but I'd take the one that gave you an offer if the other one doesn't respond. You have plenty of time to search for another job that would work better for you. You can always work towards that dream job.

I would say yes, take the ICU job to get some experience. Then if a job opens up in the pediatrics ward of that hospital you can apply for a transfer. In the meantime you can continue to apply for a job at the children's hospital.

Volunteer for any community events involving children. For example, there are medical clinics in our area that serve migrant worker's children. They can always use someone with medical skills and it will show a children's hospital that you really want to work with children.

Good luck, I know there are some great peds nurses out there, my son was in the hospital twice this year and the nurses were wonderful.
