New grad nurse needs some advice! Which one is good?

Published

I'm a new grad
My current offer is at telemetry, ratio 1-4, competitive pay rate, 35-45 minute commute, high acuity patient, skid row area. Their new grad program lasts 24 weeks.
Another option would be the emergency room at a community hospital, with a lower pay rate and a commute of 10-15 minutes. However, the training is only six weeks long.
In my clinical rotations, I rotated through different units, but I was only interested in emergency unit. The only thing that made me hesitant was the 6-week training period.
What are your thoughts on this?

I'd appreciate it.

Chances are, you have selected and started one of those two jobs. How is your new job going, OP? I wish you all the best! I received a 9-week orientation at my first nursing job but 6 weeks would not have been enough.
