I received an offer today for a position in the OR!! I am new to the OR and really look forward to learning a lot and having job satisfaction. I am very excited about this oportunity, but a bit dissappointed with the starting salary. I would be making a little over $2 less per hour (which really is not a huge deal) except the fact that my RN friends are saying I should not take the position. Their reasoning is that I would be leaving a desk job for a position that is not only much more strenuous, but one that also pays less money. They stated that I would be playing catch up from this point on and to reconsider staying put in my currently position. There are shift diff's but I don't want to work odd hours just to make my current salary. My current position is not one that I want to do long term and it does not provide the job satisfaction that I am so desperately seeking. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
