Hello everyone,
I am stuck currently between two job offers that I am trying to figure out that is best for NI. Some background on me is that I am an RN from NJ, none BSN, currently in school to bridge to MSN in NI. I worked 3 years in long term care, and currently 1.5 to 2 years in subacute care. I recently had just received a job offer at a hospital for a med surg floor for a floor nurse. I figure getting acute care experience would be needed. Just as I put in my 3 weeks notice for the subacute facility they offered me a job rolling out the EMARs to their other facilities, as well as other types of jobs once everything is in motion. They said they wanted an RN/IT. The company itself that offered the RN/IT position, I know I wouldn't look to stay in forever because of the fact that the benefits are horrible/next to none and pay is not that great. My thinking is that it is an opportunity to get some experience in to work with a team on projects. I'm trying to think what would be the best move in advancing in NI. Go to the hospital for acute care experience and try to make my way up to an NI position, or take the new position as an RN/IT at the subacute for the experience knowing I would most likely not stay because of the benefits/pay.
