Should I interview for this position??

Okay, so I live in a larger town that has two hospitals.. I worked at one during nursing school as a nurse assistant and I have put in my request for transfer earlier this week for a graduate nurse position and am waiting to hear back. I also have applied at the other hospital in town and am still completing the application process. (There is alot to do, its hoop after hoop to jump through) I had also decided that I should be safe and apply to where I can because you never know what could happen and its important that I find a nursing job before I graduate in mid-December because I can no longer work as a nurse assistant after graduation. So I decided to apply at a hospital in a different town about 30 minutes away, it isn't my ideal place. Well, I just got a voicemail from them today to set up an interview. Do you think I should go ahead with the interview even though it's not my ideal place? Also, what should I say if they try to offer me a job before I hear anything from the other two places I applied? I don't want to burn in bridges just in case I end up having needing them ya know? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
You should definitely interview. They are hard to come by and you will at the very least gain interview experience.It is an inter-view. . prepare you questions for then carefully. I have had MANY interviews. I would NEVER turn down the opportunity.

Check out some job sites on good interview questions. I would ask..For a job description, unless you can view this prior to the interview.What do you think it takes to excel in this position ?What does my orientation/ training period consist of ? Of course benefits and pay are not discussed @ this point. Good luck! Keep us posted.

Go to the interview, you may like the job.

Interview for the following reasons:1. It's good interviewing practice2. It's an opportunity to network, make contacts and get your name out there3. There's no guarantee the first hospital will even call you back4. Interviewing at hospital #2 in no way commits you to working there, should hospital #1 decide to callAnd most importantly:5. Nowadays, opportunities for new grads to even have an interview are few and far between...so you should always think carefully before deciding to turn one down. Because you don't know when or even if the next one will come along.Best of luck whatever you decide!
