So when I first graduated I applied to the hospitals like crazy, but every place I applied to told me they were looking for someone with more experience, so then I went to the LTC circuit, and got a job I love! I dont get paid as much as at the hospitals, but I have a great routine, I know every one of the residents I care for, and I am allowed to study on my down time between rounds. I love the people I work with, and even though I go home tired, sore, and covered in someones bodily fluids I am genuinely happy where I am at. Well I just got a couple calls from some of the hospitals I applied to and turned down their offers of a new job. I am torn. I so wanted to work in a hospital because I wanted that experience and if were being honest the pay is soo much better, but I keep turning down these offers, and now I am wondering if I am making a mistake. Am I crazy for wanting to stay in LTC? Just looking for words of encouragement. Thanks!!
