Preceptorship placements
A few weeks back I found out I was being placed on a telemetry floor for my senior preceptorship but today I got offered a spot at a children’s hospital in a pediatrics PACU unit. I do have interest in pediatrics but I’m also thinking about what might be more beneficial to me post-grad. I am in NorCal and I know how hard it is to get a job here, and I guess I know that if I were to even land a job here it would likely be in med-surg which I’m more than okay with. My fear is that if I take the peds PACU spot it would make it even harder to get a job versus if I stick with my telemetry spot, if it was gen peds I wouldn’t have thought twice about it. Does anyone have any advice, especially being in the NorCal region? Both sound great to me it’s just worrying to me how specialized the PACU, especially how the peds PACU might be and how much I’ll actually learn/be able to do compared to a tele floor and how that will reflect during my job hunting.
I was given until tonight to decide, any advice appreciated.
