Rehab nursing vs PP vs State job

Nurses Career Support

Specializes in psych, dialysis, LTC, sub acute rehab, hospice.

I've been offered a day position as a rehab nurse at a very respectable, not-for-profit LTC facility 5 minutes from my home with good benefits. Additionally, I am looking at a possible night position as a post-partum nurse at another great facility where I once worked for 12 years with a well-known women's services department, and also a regulatory state job with great benefits. I'm torn between all of them, as each has something special to offer. I'm also working to completing a BSN online within a year. I am a young, mostly healthy 61, but not able to lift or pull much, so trying to maximize the time I have left without further injuries. Nursing is a second career, and I'll work FT as long as I can. Not too sure about going to night shift with school, since I've mostly worked days or evenings and 8's instead of 12's. Eventually, I'd like to do case management. Any advice or opinions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Still just me here with apologies for the previous wordy post. I'll be figuring this job thing out shortly, as I don't want to take a position because it's the first one offered, and then quit for something better (or so I think!). The rehab job has been offered, but with lower pay than originally stated, so that's off the table. I'll keep looking. Thanks everybody who even looked this way.
