I'm considering a supervisor position at my current workplace. My dilemma is that I'm the least senior out of all the nurses. I've been a nurse for 4 years, but have been with this organization a little over a year. Some nurses have 10+ years on me. However I'm one of the only ones with a BSN, not to mention a previous bachelors degree in public health. I came from a fast-paced teaching hospital where my unit was mostly self-managed, going above and beyond was expected of you, and 3 solutions were presented for every problem. When I came to my new position I kept up with those habits and have gotten a lot of great feedback from all levels. The clinic manager and I get along well, and he personally encouraged me to apply for the position. Interviews went great and I have a feeling I will be offered the job. I have a high level of respect for my co-workers. A lot of them have spent their entire career in their position. I don't know for sure, but I believe at least one, likely two, of my close peers also applied. The first thing I told my boss when he mentioned the position was that I wasn't entirely interested because I was worried it would not be received well and the last thing I would want is for someone to leave due to the decision. He agreed, but said that it wasn't going to stop him from hiring the right person for the job. I'm torn on whether or not to take this opportunity. I really like the organization. I also feel like I've worked my @$$ off in my short nursing career and truly feel that I am well qualified for this position. Who knows when another opportunity like this will come up. At the same time, I think working 15+ years for an organization deserves recognition. When it comes down to it I know my peers would do fine in the position, but things would stay status quo for the most part. So what are your thoughts? Should I be ruthless and go for the position with everything I've got? Or continue working hard in my current position and look for other types of advancement opportunities? Anyone have a similar experience they care to share?

Nothing yet here. Clinic RN, credit check on 6/5

I also received a credit check on 6/5 from Credco and confirmed with them that it was from a government agency regarding nursing. I can't recall my specific site score, but I know it fell into tier 1 and my D:I ratio is just over 100%. I'm an RN/BSN at a primary care clinic. Looks like from last years cycle that awardees were notified starting in late July, so I'm hopeful to hear soon but not exactly planning on it.
