Leaving current job after only 5 months

[mlang]

I have been offered a job that pays $2/hr more, 6% retirement match as apprised to my current 3% match and a $15,000 sign on bonus and only a 5 minute commute instead of my 75 minute commute now. My only hesitation is I just started 5 months ago. I hate to let people down. Anyone else in my boat?

Thank you all for your very helpful feedback to consider. I've decided to take the job. I turn in my notice this Thursday and start 8/15. I have talked to a couple of nurses that work at the new hospital and they are very happy. Fingers crossed

I left my first job after 3 months. I'd say this is the best decision ive made in my life! Take the risk. F what everybody else will say in your current workplace.
