Hey,

I am a new graduate and have been working since September of this year. I want to eventually (soon) make an internal transfer to another hospital, but within the same network - I just have to be at my previous job for at least 6 months with no displinary actions. Would transferring be wrong to do after such a short period of time? My current employer is great and all. I am learning tons though it can get pretty overwhelming and stressful at times - like any other job. My co-workers are nice and helpful, sometimes. The commute - I do wish was shorter, the other hospital has a shorter commute and I do plan on moving to that city eventually. I don't love my job, but don't hate it either. Anyways, would that be not so nice to do? I want to transfer due to the shorter commute, change of specialty, and this hospital is going be going into Epic live soon and I want to start off as a superuser, because I want to become a Nursing Informatics Analysts once I become familiar with how things work and get my foot in the door. At my current employer, they aren't going live until I don't know when - and the hospital is small I don't think a superuser is really needed.

Thanks!
