New grad needs help!!

I am a a BSN grad and will be taking boards next month. I have been offered an ER position at a small hospital in my town. I have also been offered a job at the level 1 in town on a critical care transition unit. I work in the ER at the level 1 and really do not want to leave...but there are no ER jobs open and I don't know when anything will be available. My manager says to stay and they will transfer me to the ER when something opens up. Can anyone please offer some advice?????? I need HELP!!!!!!

Stick with the level 1, the experience and variety you get there is so much more than the small ERs.

The critical care transition unit would be a good place to learn some skills and organization without the pressures of ER.

But if you do, you'll have to be you're own advocate keeping your eyes and ears open for that position and reminding your manager of the promise to transfer you when a position opens up.

Congrats and good luck.

I'm in agreement with Tweety. Level one will give you better skills. Also in a transition unit you should get to work with some of the sicker patients, making the transition to ER as a nurse easier (I worked ED in nursing school, went to critical care then back to ED...) Must be honest though, be prepared to stay at least one year in the transition unit. Then work on being transferred.
