Job Conundrum

[BrayaRN]

I was wondering if anyone could offer some insights.

I have been an RN for about a year and a half on a Cardiac Floor. We get a lot of pacers, caths, MIs, arrhythmias, and the random medical patient that needs to be on tele. I do a decent job, but have no passion for what I do. I was recently offered, and accepted a part-time position on dayshift. This is the only floor in the hospital that you can get a day shift with only a year's experience, which says a lot.

I also interviewed recently for a position in our Level II NICU. There is a nights and variable position available. Anyone that works over there loves it, and the chance of getting on a better shift would take MUCH longer. Word has it, that one of the open positions will be offered to me any day now.

I am currently enrolled in an RN-BSN program with an anticipated graduation of December 2010. I then want to go on for my FNP, especially through Frontier. I am cross-trained to our medical and psychiatric units to get more hours and I believe the experience will be beneficial for the FNP. I would probably continue floating to such units regardless of the position I accept. Any words of wisdom???
