I had 8yrs on Med-surge, just recently had interviews for RN position in IMCU and Float Pool part way to ED,both appears coming through, pls advise me which I should accept.

My float pool RN job is my favorite of my 17-year nursing career. I have to buy my own insurance benefits (not expensive- check with travel nurse Facebook recommendations) and I don't earn PTO but I crunched the numbers and I still make more annually than if I had a regular staff job, even factoring those in. I was comparing notes with some of my NP friends and I make about the same as them, as a BSN. And with better hours!
Besides the obvious incentive of better pay, I also love that floating helps me avoid a lot of the office politics and I can stay out of the drama. Also, floor staff have become much kinder and accepting of floaters due to the rise in travel nurses since Covid started. I'm not a traveler, but have noticed their presence helps float nurses too.

Can you split your time between the two units?

So you have 8 years of experience in Medical-Surgical Nursing . . . that experience speaks volumes for your resilience as a care provider and as a nurse . . . what did you learn about patient and family care over those 8 years and what do you want to know and learn now? . . . Do you have plans to continue your education and if so, what questions do you want to answer when choosing a satisfying career path that suits you? Either way, you are a nurse in search of knowing more about nursing in areas of practice that may lend the answers to the questions about nursing through pursuing other practice fields . . . Good luck . . . and do what feels right for you . . . and listen to your self and intuitive powers when making a decision, as it will serve you well . . . and regardless of what you choose to do . . . have faith that you care about yourself and believe in those for whom you provide nursing care.
