With no acute care experience I feel the time has come to expand my horizons. I applied to a hospital in my neighborhood and got a call back to come in for an interview. I know the DON used to work at this hospital so I asked about working at this hospital.
"Oh, you don't want to work there...I was a nurse manager there and it's one of the worst hospitals I've ever been in. You need to stay here with me and help me run this place (then had to add) you're one of the best nurses we've got."
I asked some of my co-workers and got a different response. Several of them have family members employed there or know someone who is employed there and not one of them told me anything negative.
I know just because I've gotten an interview that doesn't mean I'm hired, but I hate the guilt trip being put on me. What would be worse is if I got this job and it didn't work out and I'd come back with my tail between my legs looking for my job back and it wouldn't be there.
Beside the advice to follow my heart and all that, anyone been in a similar situation?
