I'd say go for the experience, but I see the position is on psych floor. Did you intend to apply/work there? Personally, I would not choose to work in psych. Recently I traded full time SNF for part time hospital job. Same pay for now, but opportunities for shift pick up at any of 3 hospitals are numerous.
If you wanted psych, go for it. Down the road, you'll make more money in the hospital. Good luck!

I currently work at an occupational health clinic that pays pretty well, but got an offer at a city hospital (elmhurst), which pays about $8,000 less on a psychiatry floor. Do I take this offer or keep looking? It's the first job offer I've gotten at a hospital, so long term I'd have more room for growth, more opportunity to learn. My job now pays more, but is very repetitive and doesn't have much opportunity to learn or for longterm growth. What would be more important to you. Of course, city hospitals also have some good benefits, but not sure if they are worth it now as I have no spouse or kids so my health insurance is free anyways, besides for my copay.
