Hi, I graduated last May (2021) with my RN degree and completed my BSN degree this past August. In September of last year, I accepted a job offer in a cardiology clinic - outpatient nursing. I worked as a medical assistant while in nursing school so this was easy for me. I also had my first baby in May 2021, right when I finished nursing school, and my husband is a firefighter who does 24 hours on/48 hours off, so the M-F, weekends and holidays off was easier for me with sending my daughter to daycare.
I left that job to go to a local hospital nurse residency program, but left it after a couple of months due to being overwhelmed and the schedule not being ideal during training. I came back to the clinic setting.
I had been doing a lot of soul searching and decided to reach back out to the director of the floor I was on at the hospital and ended up having a meeting with the nursing VP of the hospital saying why I wanted my job back. The job pays almost $10 more than the clinic job; I ended up getting a job offer.
well, I had put in my notice at my current clinic job but thought I wanted to stay there (my coworkers are like family and the job is easy with good hours). In the moment of fearing missing the job, I told my coworkers I would stay and not take the hospital job back. Well, I really am regretting this decision but am due to start this new job in a couple weeks. What would you all do or say in this position? I’m truly at a loss. I do want to be a nurse practitioner eventually. Thank you!
