I would recommend staying at least 6 months.
You should work for 1 year.
If at all possible I would try to stick with a job in your first year for that year. Job switching too often as you get started is not seen as a favorable situation by hiring managers. There are occasions when it is more acceptable but these would be for things that are not simple dislike. Remember, when you are hired for a job as a newbie, your employer is investing thousands in your onboarding and training. No one is going to want to take a chance on you if you make multiple switches in your employment. The average time for someone to move on used to be about 18 months when I was a manager.
It depends on what unit and where you work. If you work in the ER inner city teaching level 1 trauma center or a small community hospital? But my advice is at least one year. Good luck
I worked in Medsurg for a year to get experience and discover what I do and don’t enjoy and then found my home in outpatient infusion and I’ve been there now going on four years. Good luck.
My choice is get out of nursing because I have no other choice at this point because I cannot have a second head injury as I had one from a previous car accident.
I have worked four months at the same job after I got my license and so far the violence against staff has included strangulation, head concussion, sprained wrist, hair pulled, kicked in the abdomen and the hospital treats as acceptable behavior so I want out! It depends on the job would be my answer but no one will hire me with no experience and this is not the experience I want.
