Hi guys! I am a new grad nurse and I have 2 jobs offers and I don't know what to do!!!. The first job offer is with a hemodialysis clinic. They will be paying me $31 during a 3 month training period and then $33/hour. I like this one because is "hands on experience" and I feel like I could easily get a job in a great hospital after 1 year of hemodialysis experience.

The other job offer is as a RN assesment position. Here I will get 74,000 a year (about 15,000 more than the dialysis clinic). Here is the problem, in this job I will not be able to have "hands on" experience. I can only assess the patient and patient's home and document what I see and what I think they need (ex. A home aid 3X a week for 8hrs). The salary is great but I can't touch the patients!!

Please help me to make the right choice. My heart says dialysis because of the experience but my wallet says home care lol ) btw sorry for the grammar mistakes :0

Specializes in diabetic education, dialysis.

You know what I realized about pay? (This is probably veering off topic) but no matter how much I make hourly, my paychecks seem about the same! After taxes, benefits, 401k, your take home is nearly the same roundabout number. So I don't worry too much about the dollar amount.
