Hi everyone. I'm new here. I am relocating to a new city and just accepted an offer for employment as an ED RN for a Level 3 trauma hospital. My start date is not until June. Today I got a call to schedule an interview at the Level 1 trauma hospital in the city. I missed the call, so I am trying to decide what to do. My background is in acute care and forensic nursing, but Emergency nursing is new for me.
I was just wondering what anyone else in my shoes would do? A) Tell the level 1 that I accepted another position or B) go to the interview and see what happens. I don't know the pay of the second position or if they offer a sign on bonus like the position I accepted.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Pardon the idiom, but you are putting the cart before the horse. You have nothing to lose by going to the second interview. It may turn out to be nothing. However, if the second position turns out to be more to your liking just don't burn your bridges. Thank the first for the opportunity and their time. You need to look out for number one, yourself. Good luck
