    Thank you all for all of your input and advice!! I really appreciate it! I have been leaning towards the cardiac surgery step down unit position, and I'm so glad I posted because now I know it is the right decision. Woohoo! I was excited before, but now you guys got me really excited for this opportunity. Thanks again!

    I would agree with what the others stated; you should go for the cardiac step-down unit. I am a new grad (December 2011), and after a brief stint in a LTC facility, I landed a job on a cardiac progressive care unit. I started about three weeks ago, and I've already learned so much. I don't think you will regret your choice as there will be so many opportunities with this experience and skill set! GOOD LUCK to you!!

    It sounds to me like the step down position is where your heart is anyway (pun fully intended). You can also go a lot of places with experience as a cardiac nurse; so long as the relocating isn't too much of a problem for you, that's what I would do.
