Newer Nurse switching hospitals?

Published

Hey all, so a little back story. I moved to this state from the state I had originally graduated with my BSN. I took a job on a PCU with the goal of moving into the ICU after about a year. Well, I have several reasons why I do not want to stay at the current hospital I am at - management, lack of resources, non-friendly staff and physicians. There is another hospital in the area that I had originally applied to their PCU but did not get the job. They now have an open posting for CVICU and MSICU. Would it look bad as a newer nurse with about 8 months experience to leave a hospital system for another? I've looked to transfer to the larger hospital within my system but they have not had any job postings for ICU positions.

Any input on the situation would be appreciated

It's not the best look, but if you have a string dislike for your current job, apply and see what happens. You may not even get an offer and may not even have anything to decide. Take it one step at a time.

It may be the best job ever, but, I suspect you will find more of the same.
