Hello, I'm new to this site and this is my first post. I am looking for some advice regarding my job situation. It took me about 2 months to get a job after passing my boards. I applied to all of the local hospitals, had a view interviews, and eventually got a job about 25min from home at nice/new hospital. It is not the specialty I was looking for but I couldn't keep waiting around for the 'perfect" job to come along. I have been on orientation for a little over a month and just got a call from another local hospital about an interview with them(which i had applied to before getting my current job). It's not the specialty I wanted either but it does pay about $2500 more /yr not to mention I would be going from 36hr/wk to 40hr/wk and would bring in more money because of that as well. My wife works there, which means we could possibly share the commute (which is about 45min). It is also where I had my clinicals during school so I am already familiar with the computer charting system they have in place. The computer charting system at my current job is dated to say the least. It is probably my biggest frustration. Finding lab results took me about 10 seconds during clinicals at the other hospital, at my current job it takes at least 1-2minutes, with me trying to navigate through the equivalent to MS-DOS. But my manager is great, the other staff is helpful, and it it is closer to home. I'm just worried about burning bridges this early in my career. Any thoughts are appreciated. If I gave proper notice, do you think anyone would hold any grudges? Also, my wife and I talked about having a child within the next year or so and planned on her going per diem, so the extra income this new position would offer is appealing.
