New job OFFER! help!!

Published

Specializes in Med/surg, Tele, educator, FNP.

Started working at clinic 1 for 1 month as a 1099 employee, like the place and everyone is pretty nice.

Friends are working with me, but just got called on another offer only 1 mile from my home for more money. The current provider at clinic 2 seems very stressed and over worked. She states it is because the other provider left because she could not speak the common language of the patients. I wont have any problems with language, but now I am faced with this dilemma. I shouldn't have agreed to an interview if I was happy, but I did because the place is just so close. I have written some things about both clinics below. Can you guys help me choose? My end goal is to end up working in a ER. So any advice would be helpful. I have a family with a 5 year old daughter.

Choice between good and better! Lucky you! I would take the one with a one hour commute and $55 per hour. Make sure you have enough admin time.

I'd take the one closest to home for more money. You can always learn the EMR and you'll make new friends. Do you get another day off during the week for working Saturday?

Always remember your long term goals! Clinic 2. Always push your self and strive for your next 5 - 10 year goal. By continuing with school you already demonstrate that! Think of your future and retirement, or retirement #2 etc.

My vote is for Clinic 2. It just sounds like a much better deal all around. Plus FQHC means you can apply for loan repayment.
