Hi everyone, so I could really use some advice. I am a new grad nurse and I am extremely grateful to have 2 job offers at excellent, magnet-status hospitals in Southern California. My passion has always been working with women, children, and newborns.
My first job offer is on postpartum, which I am super excited about and I have heard good things about their new grad program. The second job offer is on a floor similar to med surg, which I don't really like. However, they pay WAY more. I'm talking like $20/hr more than the first job offer. I also do not know how easy it would be for me to transfer to a different unit like L&D or PP at this hospital, especially as a new nurse like me.
My heart is in maternity but I know that the pay is an important factor too. I was wondering which offer you think would be better given these circumstances? Thanks in advance for your input!
