I would be leaving to gain experience and to eventually advance with a master's degree, I currently in my mid- 20's and have my BSN. So I have a long way to go if God allows. However, most of the master degree jobs require some floor experience. Or basically any job outside of my current department requires floor experience. I currently work within Blood Banking, very specialized. It's an okay job, pay is good, but no set schedules, 10 hr shifts, and if something goes wrong with the workers under you (lvn, techs) the discplinary action falls on you. Your responsible for everyones mess, But other than that it's okay, I just feel stuck.

i have been working within the same hospital for 21 months in california. i currently do not work on the floor, but within an non clinical department, however, i am utilizing my rn license. i do administer a few medications and start ivs if needed. but not often. i do not have floor experience, but i did work within the or for 8 months after graduating a few years ago. working within my non clinical environment is fairly easy and the pay is great, however, we are not using our nursing skills 95 percent of the time. in addition, there is no growth. i am pretty much stuck in this position. i've been trying to transfer for a long time, but it's been difficult with out clinical experience, but recently i was accepted for transfer within an new grad program on an oncology unit within my current hospital. i'm technically not a new graduate, have been a nurse for four years. however, they said the pay would be less, even though, i am a current employee. my current pay would not transfer over, because i would be considered a clinical nurse i, so i would be receiving a pay cut of about 3.36 per hour. they also say because they are training me, i must be paid the same as the other new graduates. i am not sure if it's worth it, less pay for more work on the unit. i keep thinking the experience would eventually bring me more pay in the end. what do you guys think..take the new job or stay?
