Thank you!!

I recently started looking for jobs about 2 weeks ago. I got a referral through a friend and immediately got an interview the same day I submitted my resume. A week later(yesterday) I got a call from HR extending a job offer. They offered me a full time position a family practice clinic starting at 24.50/hr and I'm told they do 2% pay increments every June for those who meet requirements after an evaluation, which after a year would still not break $25/hr. I realize I am not experienced and it is expensive to train a new nurse. However, I live in NY and I am told that is so grossly underpaid for this area even for a new nurse. So I thanked them for the offer and asked for a few days. The same day I got the offer I got a call from a different place. A long term nursing home for acutely ill children. They tell me the minimum to start is 64,800 a year but require a 2 year commitment. His made me feel like I shouldn't settle for such a low paying job and maybe wait out to see if I get another job offer. At the same time the place that pays more seemed like they were desperate for ppl and the 2 year commitment makes me think they have a hard time keeping their employees long term. So I am scared it wouldn't be a good place to work and be stuck there for 2 years if i even get a job offer. Opinions please!
