I need to make a decision between two job offers as a new graduate RN.
Job Offer A:
-6-Week Training
-big company
-higher salary
-in my hometown
-close to my potential BSN school
Job Offer B:
-18-Week RN Residency Training
-not as big of a company as Job Offer A; yet, not small
-ok salary
-must make a move from hometown
-1 hr away from my potential BSN school
I know that as a new graduate a good training makes a big difference. I know that convenience is also a factor.
Which one would you choose? I need your opinion. Please help.

Speaking from personal experience, I would try to find nurses from both hospitals and see what training they actually recieved. Although option b may look better, what you see is not always what you get. My hospital offered a YEAR LONG training program, but it was actually only six weeks. I guess they considered a celebration at the end of the year to constitute a year long program. :nurse:However, I felt very well trained and prepared after the six weeks of training.
