35 plus years nursing experience here.

Pick the most technical job you can, like icu, etc. Make sure they have a preceptorship program. You can always get a lower level job later. Point is, you must learn what real hard-core nursing is like , otherwise you'll regret it later, you will fear certain positions and be very limited and disgruntled. Nobody likes a shitty nurse. Plus you will get paid extremely well for that experience. Good luck , you are a fine person for selecting this field, make us proud!

Wow, thank you so much. The final sentence of your comment just resonated so hard with me. I'm taking a job in the ED because that's where I fit in, where I connect with my patients and feel myself making a difference. Thank YOU for paving the way for graduates like myself!
