should I accept an IT job

Greetings mcclatchey5,

They offered you the position. Which makes me think someone thinks you would be good at it or they wouldnt have offered it to you.
Take a look at the interview questions I have on the forum and make sure you know what the role is and what the expectations are. If your fear is being stuck behind a desk ask if you will have any contact with the clinical users in the course of your new job. In my current role I round daily on the clinical inpt units and have daily contact with clinicians. I dont sit behind a desk all day.
I'd suggest taking the position, seeing how it is for 1 year and if you dont like it, the bedside will always be there to come back to. Just make sure you have a good idea what the role will require of you, that there will be a learning curve and that the financial compensation meets your needs before you take the position.
Good Luck!

I can tell you that my job is far from a desk job. It's as bad as the floor, except the calls are from other facility employees, not patients. I can't go to the ladies room without being Shanghaied.
