9 months out from having graduated and I finally have 2 job offers. Although I'm very stuck in trying to decide which one to choose. The 3rd option would be to wait it out and continue looking, but money is running out and I want to use this long-sought NP certification. Still, waiting might be the best bet. I am calling on the fabulous AN community for your help.
Position A:
Medium to high support for new grads
Max 18 patients/day

Extremely rural/isolated from friends and family (several of whom are seriously ill)
Zero to very limited social and career opportunities for Husband
Position B:
Medium to high support for new grads

Small fish big pond scenario
Pay is well below state and federal average with no possibility of negotiation, no reimbursement for DEA, license, CME's, or prof org fees.

A wealth of social and career opportunities for Husband
What are your thoughts? Any input is appreciated.
