Hello all.
I'm sort of in a predicament. I am not sure on which position to choose after I graduate next month.
I was offered a position in the Emergency Department at a trauma level I hospital, but it is in a city that I do not want to live in for 2 years. The pros for having this job is that it is my dream job and fits my professional goals. The location of this hospital is a 45 minute drive from my house so one consideration is to commute.
I am also in the process of hearing back from another Magnet hospital who interviewed me for a med-surg/trauma unit. This hospital is only about 20 minutes away from where i live. I want to be closer to home so the location of this hospital is the best. If i get offered this position I am not sure if I should commute from home and work in the Emergency Department or take the med/surg unit and possibly do an internal transfer in a few years.
Can anyone here offer some advice as to what a new grad should do?
