Okay, I am having a huge dilemma. I will be graduating in March from Excelsior (hopefully, if I pass the CPNE) and then if I pass my boards, will have my RN by this Spring. I am currently working in a Family Practice setting as a LPN and can not decide if I want to stay or go to the hospital. I know I'm thinking too far ahead but I do need to give my boss an idea of the decision I am going to make. Of course they are going to increase my pay a few more dollars an hour, but not as much as I will make in the hospital. My other intention is to gain experience in the hospital, benefits, and appreciate the idea that I will be kept more busy. The things pushing me away from the hospital are the hours, weekends, and holidays. I am spoiled with the Mon-Fri 8:30-5 schedule! Anyone else ever in the same dilemma? What did you decide?
