thanks for everyone's feedback, i'm still somewhat undecided but you have definitely given me some new things to consider, i'll make sure to keep ya posted as i start interviewing :)

Hello everyone, this is my 1st post but I've been gaining precious knowledge from this site ever since I started nursing school. I'm a senior now and will be graduating this January. Since starting the program I've known that on graduation I'd want to work in an ICU, and for the past year I've been working as a cna in a sicu/micu at a hospital near Boston. They offer a formal new grad ICU program and I think it would be fairly easy for me to get a job there on graduation. However, I'm seriously undecided and wonder if I should try to get a job at one of the major hospitals in boston...not sure what would be best for me. On one hand making the transition to a nurse and surviving the internship might be easier because I already know and get along with everyone, but on the other hand Boston might be a better learning experience with more severe exotic cases, not to mention higher pay. Can anyone help me gain some perspective on this? Any advice is greatly apreciated.:)
