My step mom got the long term care certification mostly b/c she wanted to switch to hospice and give her body a break from on the floor shifts

I hold certification in intravenous (IV) therapy. The certification helps when I'm competing for assignments because it shows that I possess advanced level knowledge about a IV therapy.

You can hold all the certifications in the world, but if you're not taken seriously like you don't know what you're talking about the certs don't matter. Senior nurses in my unit always second-guess my expertise, even nurses without certs disregard what I have to say.

So, I'm happy at my current job and have been there about 18 months. Our pay is probably 15% below market (AmLaw 100) but so are our billable requirements. An interview for another firm kind of fell into my lap, and I'm debating whether to take it just for the sake of seeing what market really is. Is there something shady about interviewing somewhere you're not totally committed to accepting an offer from?
