Hi Friends, Question for you: I work as an RN in a large, relatively high acuity ER (45 beds, level III trauma center w/cath lab and certified stroke center). However, my hours were recently reduced (budget cuts) so I've been searching for a casual job to supplement my income. I have two offers right now: a level II trauma center at the University Hospital, or an ER job at the local Children's Hospital (level III trauma). I'm currently working on my FNP and have a few years left on that. I love pediatrics, and my current job has some (but not a ton) of peds. However the doctors I work with have been encouraging a higher level trauma center saying that experience will be more valuable to me/make me more marketable when I graduate as an FNP. Any advice/comments? Thanks, Nickie
