Hello, I need advice/insight on these hospitals and in choosing which path to takeI'm currently on a Med/Surg unit wanting to relocate to SD, my boyfriend is in the Navy with 2 more years in San Diego.I received an offer for The VA on the Surgical Telemetry, so it's familiar, and a little different with Telemetry, but not the ideal unit I want to be working in, idk the salary for it yetScripps would be on a more acute unit, which is where I think I want to be (No experience with more acute patients-- vents, drips, etc), Night shift, good payI just don't know if I should choose the VA because I know we will be moving in the future, or choose Scripps because I can get an opportunity with the VA later down the line?or any insight on either of the hospitals would be helpful.Thanks in advance!

Dec 16, 2017 I would choose the VA as they have very good benefits (I've heard, not from personal experience), You can transfer to any VA in the country. Whereas, I believe Scripps is regionally located in California or that part of the U.S.
