In Canada, University Hospitals received grants and funds for research & development. Evidence practice nursing is usually a strong emphasis. More money usually mean more oppunities to learn cut edge discoveries. Regular hospitals have funding limitations which means their equipment, supplies and areas of speciality is limited. This is probabily the same in the USA. You need to decide if the hospital you choose would meet your expectations. Do you want to develop your career further; move in other areas of nursing and continue your education - than a University Hospital would meet those needs. If you like the small community hospital and would be equally happy learning to improve only in that environment - apply there. I am sure you can look back at nursing rotation and see the pros and cons. If you can go for an informational interview and talk to the RNs, who work in those facilities. This way you can get a feel of how your personality would match. It also helps in the interview process as well because you made an effort to do some research. I hope this would help you.
