I am a med-surg floor nurse and sometime during last yr I applied for this cardiac tele floor and got a call from them this weekend after 8 mos that the manager wants to interview me.
My present job environment sucks but am doing good as job performance goes.
I am still shot of 5 mos experience to make it an year at present job. Should I consider taking this job in tele floor with less than an year experience of med-surg. I have ACLS and certification in dysrhythmia course.
I am wondering, what if oppurtunity does not knock on my door after this then what ?

Will the facility allow a transfer that soon with you only being on the floor less than one year? Some facilities will not. Do you think you can handle the load on a tele floor? How long will they give you for orientation on the tele unit? Have you had any problems on your current unit that will be issues for your transfer?
i just interviewed today for a job i applied for 2 yrs ago...called me out of the blue on monday. i am currently employed and wasn't really looking to change jobs. now i'm confused of what to do if they offer me a position. it's more money and better benefits, and also in the town i live....but it's 8 hr shifts...i currently work 12....and a totally different environment. i guess i will have to cross that path if it comes my way.
