Question for the seasoned nurses.. I was offered two new grad positions and I need to make a decision. The 1st position is with Orthopedics on nights. I was told many of the patients are elective surgical patients. I heard there is a lot of customer service and much pain control. I didn't get to meet the unit manager for my interview, only her assistant which was disappointing. On my own, I did research and learned there is a lot of heavy lifting and walking patients, encouraging them to move after surgery. The unit itself has only been open a few months, it's completely renovated and beautiful. I also was told there is a waiting list for days. The 2nd position is Oncology nights. The nursing supervisor was very supportive and made me feel very welcomed at my interview. She told me that I would learn a lot and be able to develop my skills quickly. I also was told that they are merging telemetry with oncology in a few months. The building was built in 1912 and it's old, old. Yellow walls, yellow flooring. Reminds me of a nursing home. I want to eventually become an Emergency Room RN. Which position should I take where I would learn the most? I think oncology would be rewarding because I would be able to work with many age groups and provide emotional support, which I enjoy. But the Orthpedics unit is brand new, beautiful and uplifting atmosphere. But I didn't get to meet the unit manager on orthopedics, I worry she may not be great. I know unit managers can make or break you. For seasoned nurses, what is your day to day like on these units? Which would you choose as a new grad?
