i do not have to sign a contract, but in all the new grad bsns are enrolled into a 1 year residency program, so i think it is best to stay at least 1 year????????
am i correct in understanding that you haven't even started the job yet? then how do you know you won't absolutely love it? i think you're putting the cart before the horse, here. but yes, you should stay at least one year.

Ruby Vee,
Yes, I have not even started the job yet and I did not say I will not love it. I said "It is a great unit with lot of learning opportunities." I am just saying my dream job is a ICU position and asking for opinions on the length and how to make transfer best for the employer and unit:)
Thanks,

Hi Caliotter3,
Are you saying that it is not a good idea to let people know about my interest to transfer to an ICU? I want to be honest. I told the nurse manager that my interest is ICU, but I want to start with the unit to improve my skills and it is best for new grad to start in a step-down unit than right into a ICU. Is it a good way to say?

evidently you're missing my point. perhaps it's me, but i don't see how starting a job with the attitude that you're going to leave it at the first moment possible is going to make your time at that job as interesting, productive or as much of a learning opportunity as possible. you've already got one foot out the door.

At my facility, I think you have to be in that unit for like 6 mo. to even be considered for transfer.
