The Cauldron: A Pagan Forum

I'm having a dilemma regarding work and I thought I could use a little insight into it.  I recently graduated nursing school and until the past week the hospital where I currently work was saying that they wouldn't be able to hire me as a nurse, so I put my resume out there.  Yesterday I got a call from another hospital to schedule me for an interview, which is great except my current job is now saying that they may be able to hire me as a nurse in a few months after all.

My current place of employment is really where I'd like to stay.  This other job is over an hour commute, the pay is probably not great, and the hours for the position I'd be taking suck.  It has nothing going for it, except it's a major medical center and it's a job, which can be very hard for a new nurse to find.  So, I'm looking for a little guidance to whether I should hold out and wait for the job I really want, or take the first job offered to me.  Any insight would be helpful.  I did agree to go to an interview Friday.

Thanks in advance.

Why don't you use tarot cards for advice

Why don't you use tarot cards for advice

 
TC's Divination-Exchange-Project is a longstanding and popular feature here. Threads requesting divination can be easily identified by their subject lines, for which the standard format is, 'DivEx - $username' (f'ex, this one, titled, 'DivEx-NightQueen').

There are many, perfectly sound and legitimate, reasons why someone would prefer to have a reading done by someone else, rather than (or, as well as) doing a reading for themselves - starting with, they might not practice any divination system, since 'doing divination' is not a requirement for being pagan. Or, they might be inexperienced, or want a second opinion, or prefer the greater objectivity another reader would bring to the reading, or want one using a different divination system - or, indeed, might be requesting a reading mainly to learn more about a system they're less familiar with.

Responding to a reading request in the DivEx Project by asking why the requester doesn't do their own reading is... well, it seems pretty rude to me, honestly. I'm supposing that you were unaware of the DivEx Project and that's why you responded that way, so I'm trying not to jump down your throat - but it's not a hard thing to be aware of, so if I seem a bit cranky, that's why.

Hi NightQueen:

Only just saw this thread today so if this answer's a little late, I apologise!

I did a one card draw using the Sacred Circle Tarot, and drew the 10 of Discs.



If you stay, you will profit from the work you've put in; from apprentice to master. Your past service has created the foundations for a rewarding future. Someone will leave and you will step up; have faith in yourself. Being generous with your skills will in time reap rewards for you.

Thank you.  I did go to the interview, which I think went well, but I have not been offered the job with the commute yet (I was told I'd hear back in about two weeks).  After interviewing, I actually feel that it's a pretty good job.  Despite not being the greatest hours (the manger said she would try to move me to my preferred shift as soon as possible though) and the pay not being great, it does have very good benefits and I think it might be a good place to learn.

At the moment, if I'm offered the job, which is still an if, I feel I will take it and let my current place of employment that I would like to return if they do decide to start hiring new nurses in the next few months.

Thanks for taking the time to do a reading.  There have been several nurses who have left my current hospital over the last few months (which is actually what prompted the decisions to maybe hire new nurses, until then the answer had been a plain no).  And as a side note even if I do take the new job, in a way my old job provided a foundation for the new one.  The manger was very pleased I had experience in cardiac monitors, which I got from my current job.
