I'm not currently working and am exploring the world of nursing at a level I've never done before. Currently I have job offers for home health, psych, and med/surg, and have an interview for a corrections position. I'm also looking into travel nursing, and think that is where I want to be in a few years if not now. 2 of the job offers sound great but are for another town, so that would mean moving to a new town that I think I'd like but would be a gamble as I'd have the relocation costs, have to sign a 6-month lease on an apartment, with the higher apartment costs I'd have less disposable income than I currently have, and I might not like the job or the town. While I'd like to get out of toxic hospital environments, I don't want to make a career move that just adds another short-term job to my resume or that could delay future travel nursing. I've had too many jobs (all in med/surg) since I became a nurse several years ago and feel like I should stay in my next job for a couple of years. Suggestions from others would be greatly appreciated!
