Thank you all for the advice, I went with the position I wanted.

Uncle Rico, do you know about the nurses that work there, training for new grads, supportive environment? Thank you

Yes, IMC is Intermediate Care.

Thank you all for your input, I truly appreciate it.

Hello, I am a new graduate nurse and need some input about nursing income. I received two offers from two hospitals. An IMC unit and another one from MedSurg. Patient ratio on IMC is 3-4, ratio on MedSurg night shift is 5-6. Now here is the tricky part, IMC unit is at a hospital that pays the lowest in the area with $26 base rate and unfortunately everyone knows this hospital pays the lowest, while the MedSurg position will pay $3 more base pay and $2 more in differential. All my peers are starting with $2 to $3 more base pay and the same in differential. I would like to work in an IMC unit but I feel ashamed about the low pay compared to other new grads in my area. I am really worried others in my field will look down on me. I also have quite an amount to pay back in school loans. Thank you for your input.
