Where do you see yourself down the road career wise? Do you need health insurance?
You can learn many things from ambulatory care:
Time management,
multi tasking.
working with MD's and Anesthesiologists
Deciding when to call such MD when the pt isn't doing well. Not all get to go home.
IV starts
DC teaching a variety of surgeries
That's a few things I can think of.

Hi,
I am new graduate nurse in the big city and have been looking for a job for almost 8 months, They are currently not hiring new graduates as well as at the time did not have my bachelors which is a requirement here. Now enrolled in a program for my bsn a couple of offers have come to the table and I need experienced advice on what route to take.
One offer is a hospital specializing in ambulatory surgery. Known for being a magnet nursing institution. I would be per diem starting on one floor but eventually would be able to train and float from floor to floor. Great pay!! No overnights no weekends! They've already called me and told me they would like to move forward with the process and to complete the physical and drug test. My only concern is because I am new grad and dont have experience what kind of experience could I gain from ambulatory care.
The other offer is a hospital on any floor that has a position although I put a request in for maternity. Definitely overnight. Regular pay part time and Id have to have another interview with the floor manager to see if I even qualify for the opening whenever the position actually opens up. Basically what I feel the only perk from the hospital would be the experience and skill set.
So for anyone willing to give advice what do you think?
