Don't know what to choose

So I have two offers after searching forever. One is at a large hospital within a good size network of other local hospitals in a med-surg position. It's farther from family, day/night rotation, new city for me. The other option is psych nursing-small town hospital but with day shift closer to family (possibly do float to med-surg as well but it's still a small hospital compared to what I'd like to get into eventually. Ultimately I want to do nicu nursing in California (very competitive) or something maternal-child health. I think the psych nursing would work better for my situation right now (single mom) trying to do an online BSN program but I'm scared I'll be limited in my options by doing psych in a small town hospital. I think I may be happier in the bigger town with more to do and better experience but the day/night thing really worries me. Any advice? I have to decide rather quickly.

    In terms of experience and helping you with future career opportunities, I would definitely go with the first option.

    I totally agree. You'll be an internal candidate when you apply for a position in a more desirable area.

    large hospital would open more doors if you want to stay doing bedside nursing.
