Hello. There is a question I want to ask you that confuses me. I wanted to change jobs recently and found another job besides my current one, but I'm undecided whether to switch or not. Please rate my experiences.

1- The hospital I worked at was my first experience and I was literally burned in the general intensive care unit. I couldn't get along with my manager and the doctor in charge. (I have been in this hospital for two years and the 12 nurses, two charge nurses and the doctor in charge I worked with the ICU team have changed)

Then I was offered a job on the inpatient floor. (I think I was also exposed to mobbing because there was such a plan.) I have plastic, ENT, pediatric surgery, general pediatric, pediatric hematology and oncology patients (for the last 5 months), I generally care for 6 patients and work 12 hours a day for 5 days. (They rejected my offer for 4 days 3 times and they do not change my position)

I am the senior nurse of the team, I can generally take care of seriously ill patients and all kinds of patients. I am also involved in supporting and training other nurses and I am scheduled to be promoted to team leader in June. (I will be paid extra, but the work I will do will be 95% the same + extra responsibilities) The most important reason why I want to quit this job is that I cannot improve myself for English and NCLEX while working long hours and 5 days. It is also far from where I live compared to the other job.

2- I just found this job. I will work on the hematology and oncology inpatient floor and in a more prestigious hospital. The total amount of money I receive will be the same, but I will work for 4 days. (Again, 12 hours. Thank you Turkey.) Also, I was told that I would have 4 patients, unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not work with 5 patients or 5 days (I trust human resources due to prestige, but it was said the same in my first hospital).

Since I am the most junior of the team, I can take the most serious patients and adult patients. It scares me a little bit. Most likely the maintenance burden will be heavier than before, but why can't I do it? my ideas

*it's bad that there is no significant change in the wage gap for the new job. I would like to take care of these difficult patients while earning a higher wage. (I offered but they did not revise)

* Having 3 days off while working 4 days would be a great favor for me. I hope I have a charge nurse who makes my lists well. * Caring for high acuity patients can be a development for me. * One of the most prestigious hospitals in Turkey will be good for my resume.

* Oncology physician is one of the 3 physicians recommended by the Oncology Association in Türkiye. * patients may have richer and more demanding requests * I have the prestige in pediatric nursing, it scares me to leave it and start from scratch. What would you do? Please help me.

There is a new development. There is a hospital affiliated with John Hopkins in Turkey and the pediatric oncology and bone marrow transplant unit of this hospital was offered to me. I haven't discussed the salary yet, but if I go, I will have to move and live in public housing and I will have a roommate. I will be there tomorrow to talk about the salary issue and observe the environment a bit. They offered it themselves and asked me to meet the team. If I had to talk about the job in general;

I will move because it is far from home.
I will take care of pediatric oncology patients. I will only have 3 patients and I will work with the American system, but it will still be 12 hours a day for 4-5 days.
