Hi all, This is my first time posting here. I hope I follow all the etiquette. If not, please make me aware. Anyways, I am in my third semester (and hardest semester) at a 4-year BSN program. I am trying to make a decision that will affect my career path, where I choose to tech this summer and until graduation. I have been blessed enough to be given options. Let me further explain. I can either be an on-call ER tech (for 11/hour) at a Trauma I hospital, or I can be an on-call Pool tech at the same hospital (for 14/hour) The pool puts me on EVERY unit/floor except surgical and ED. I don't know what to do because I have been offered the pool tech position and have the head manager wanting me in the ED, so I'm expecting a job offer there too. I'm blessed to have choices, but this is a hard one to make because I have every intention of working at this hospital when I graduate. I have the long-term goal of being an ED or an ICU nurse (I am not 100% sure), but I want to see what you all think, from personal experience, about which is the best path to take and why.
