The article said that she reached a settlement with the city AND the university that owns the hospital. I never heard anything about the hospital being at fault. In fact, the supervisor was on speakerphone telling the police very firmly that they did NOT have the right to try to force her to draw the blood.
Even though it might be preferable to have more hospital experience before going to the clinic, my gut says, "Take the clinic job". You should logically weigh the pros & cons of each, and then listen to that inner voice that guides us to what will make us happiest.
