Hi everyone, I've been a nurse for 7 years, but my acute care experience is limited. I have 1 year in telemetry and 1 year in the OR. The other 5 years have been outpatient and low acuity, most recently in an oncology clinic. I was offered two jobs and I'm not sure which to choose. Oncology Med Surg Nights 7pm to 7am with the option to switch to days after orientation Geriatric community based population Ratio 4 to 5 patients depending on overflow Potential to see complex patients I shadowed the unit and the team and manager seemed great. The unit felt supportive and happy and I can see myself working there Pediatric Oncology BMT Nights 7pm to 7am Patients from babies to 18 years old Very complex population with overlap with PICU level care Ratio 2 patients, sometimes 1 to 1 Large pediatric hospital in a major city I shadowed for a couple hours. The nurses seemed supportive and willing to teach, but the culture felt more strict Both jobs are in the same medical center with similar pay My long term goals are to do travel nursing and eventually move back to Western Washington
