LOL hey thanks for the info! I'm almost 29 haha. Have lived in many different cities, as well as France. I am not worried about venturing out (I've been in Miami for the past year for my ABSN w/o knowing a soul), I just wasn't sure if it was better to go with a lesser known Children's Hospital in a city I know nothing about, or a Magnet University hospital in a city I enjoy. I am aware it is a *simple* dilemma and easy decision. The unknowns of nursing and experience are what are giving me stress I suppose. Thank you for the tough love though! I need it LOL.

Also wanted to add: the pay is basically the same (give or take .50 cents), the benefits are basically the same, the PTO includes a few more days at the magnet hospital, but everything else is the same.

Hello everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster ? I will be graduating with my BSN through an accelerated post-bac program this May (yay!). I have been applying to jobs since the beginning of the year, and was offered a position in a new grad residency program that starts early August. The offer is at a magnet hospital that is a 511-bed community-based, acute care teaching facility, in an adult cardiac stepdown unit. I got the offer 1.5 months ago, and finally got the official contract about two weeks ago, but for some reason I've been really hesitant to sign it. Ultimately, I know that I want to work in pediatrics. I've always worked with kids, my first degree led me to a career working with kids, and I knew that if I became a nurse I'd be a pediatric nurse. However, I had applied to MANY new graduate pediatric nursing positions to no avail, so I had started to accept that "any experience is better than no experience" and was excited about my cardiac stepdown offer. About a week or two ago I told myself that I was going to apply to any children's hospital positions that remotely appealed to me, and even if I got an offer in a city or state that I didn't have an interest in, I could work anywhere for 1-2 years to gain experience working with children. WELL, I just interviewed at a children's hospital that is a 222-bed, not-for-profit pediatric medical center, in a big city that I never thought of moving to. It is not magnet recognized, but it is working toward it, and I got 2 offers on two different units. SO, long long story short. Would it be better to accept an offer at a children's hospital working w/ a population that I am interested in, in a city I've never been to, and for a hospital that isn't magnet. OR would it be better to accept an offer at a university hospital working w/ an adult population, in a city that I've been to before, at a magnet hospital. I'd stay for 2 years at either location, but I just don't know if location/hospital is better than experience/patient population and I need HELP please. Thank you so so so so much in advance!! xoxoxo

Hi! Can you email me possibly? I have a questing about final semester at UM!! My email is [email protected] thank you !!!

Haha, yeah I've logged in many times, and still nothing. But thanks! And CONGRATS!

I still haven't heard anything ??‍♀️ guess they forgot about me hahaha

Yes, CONGRATS!! I didn't get the last email with the update on when the decisions would go out, and didn't get any email today. Anyone else?

I didn't get an email hmm. Did you all get them at the same time?

I've heard back from all except USF!

So many ?? I applied to MGHIHP, University of Miami, Queen's University of Charlotte, Duquesne, University of St. Mary, NAU, OHSU (all ABSN) and Emory, Augusta, SLU and USF (for MSN).

I was accepted! But will most likely be giving up my spot, so that should free one up for someone ?

Hey I just got my acceptance today!

Hey all! I honestly forgot I applied to USF because so many other schools have already sent out acceptances. But given the state of the world with COVID-19, I'm wanting to stay more local in/around Los Angeles where I'm from. Anywhoooooooo, has anyone heard anything?!? This is the last school I'm waiting to hear from!! Good luck to everyone!

I can’t figure out what campus I’m at ? I thought I applied to Athens but I think I got into the main campus but I don’t know where to find out?

Hey. I never did an interview as my emails were going answered ??‍♀️ But I just got an acceptance today!
