When is it time to leave a JOB?

Hi Everyone,

I am wondering if it is time for me to leave my present employer. I know that I work for an awesome hospital/unit and MOST of my coworkers are awesome. The unfortunate aspect is that I don't feel like I am growing. That is not to say that I have learned everything but rather senior staff seems to have decided that I am not the one to be nurtured. I am a good nurse, a pretty good nurse. I am not the best but neither are the others. I have sought feedback from these "all powerful nurses" and none has been given. There is no mentor type person for me to utilize as a resource. After 2 years, I feel that I do not fit on the unit.

I have an opportunity to work at a really good hospital on an excellent unit in the same specialty. I know that the new facility will be more challenging physically and mentally. They are also still using paper charting. The new facility usually has 1:2 nurse-patient ratio with a tech versus 1:1-2 with no tech where I am. Money will be better and the schedule not as demanding. The new hospital is also affiliated with the school that I am attending.

I know the grass is not always greener on the other side and I may be jumping out of the pot and into the frying pan but I can't help but to wonder. Your advice and feedback would be greatly appreciated.
