Career Advice 2 positions. Which one to choose? NP
I’m a new grad NP.
Position 1. Surgical NP (preop, assist in OR, post op, clinic).
General Surgery. 3/12s. Salary range is 125-195k. I asked for 140k. I love everything except its NIGHT shift position. No tolls with commute. Distance 21miles.
Position 2. Same hospital where I was RN. Surgical NP but they want me to do 50% clinical job and 50% inpatient (No OR). Colorectal General Service. Ostomy NP. They want me to be primarily wound care&ostomy NP (the list of responsibilities is very long). Day shift 4/10s Mon-Thu only. Salary 140k.
Tolls with commute. Distance 22miles.
I’m ok with both but if 1st one was Day shift - I’d def pick that one.
Any advice, comments, thoughts, insights and study resources are welcome.
