Why are so many New RN's so focused on working at the hospital? Is the pay better? Are the benefits better? Anytime I hear about a new RN working outside the acute care world, they want out. Why is the hospital so much more appealing than non-acute care?
The only thing that makes sense to me is the hours...4 days off with 3 days on is awesome--if you are working day shift. I would still prefer 40 hours on days than 36 on nights, any day.
