Alright so I living in south Florida, specifically Miami and I've been searching for a job for 3 years with no success. I have gone as far as to drive 4 hours north to Orlando for an interview (because they refused to do a skype/phone interview), and still did not get a job. That was for an intro level RN position. I have been working as a school nurse for 5 years taking care of a large verity of patients in mostly self managed clinics. That isn't considered "real hospital experience" So no one here will even give me a chance...
So after 3 years and hundreds of denials I've finally applied out of state I have Hospitals actually show interest but one wants an answer while I'm still interview for another. The hospital that want's an answer is a small hospital in a very small town 2 hours south of San Antonio, Tx near the border. Its a very small hospital but I would see a large verity of patients. Most critical care cases will be sent off to larger hospitals. They offered me a job and honestly sound like they really need a Nurse
Second job is in Springfield Illinois, large well established teaching hospital that just opened up a new center so there are a lot of openings. The floor I applied for has 8 openings alone.
Both are 3/12 shifts, pay around $27/ hr and are willing to pay the same sign on/relocation bonus. My issue is that Texas want's an answer soon while I still have one more interview with Illinois. I have never lived on my own and have no family in either state so that alone is terrifying. I'm torn on what to do. I could say yes to Texas but I don't want to agree to a job just to possibly say 'sorry not interested' later. So I'm really not sure what to do... If I should jump on the offer I have or wait for a job which still has a high chance of being offered.
