ok which job would you choose?

On its face, this question is almost impossible to answer. Does the specialty appeal to you? Which job has better hours/pay/benefits? Which one will allow you to utilize your skills to the fullest capacity?

There just aren't enough details here.

Thanks for the reply they both have great benefits and hours.

Does the specialty interest you? Which job will offer you the opportunity to use your skills?

I took Family Practice, it gave me experience with a variety of

populations from infant to seniors. I loved the office atmosphere and

it was a fun job. At the time the pay was not great, but I learned alot.

It also was a springboard to many other fields in nursing.

That said, if at the time an Orthopaedic office job had been available,

I would have been drawn to that specialty because I enjoyed it inpatient...

In family practice, you may see more variety of dianogses (as someone mentioned above.)

I work in a Family Practice Clinic and I deal with patients of all ages. It can be challenging at times but every day something new and exciting happens. There is never a dull moment! However, I am also lucky to work for two doctors. We all get along splendily but the main thing is that both are willing to teach and answer any questions I may have - they don't make me feel small and incompetent. There is so much variety that it can be challenging at times but overall, it is a learning curve. Our clinic as a whole, is fun, and we nurses interact with the doctor's at work and outside of work, which I find unusual and yet refeshing. Just make sure you laugh a lot and have fun in your job.:)

Hmmm...also depends on the specialist.
