I currently work as a staff pharmacist at a major hospital. This is my first hospital gig and I have only been here for 8 months. I have a desire to keep growing clinically so I took a PRN position at another hospital that is smaller. The PRN hospital just told me that an ICU clinical position opened up and they asked if I wanted it (but I need to work there full time to take it). I feel bad only being at the first hospital for 8 months then leaving. What do you all think is the best thing to do

Don’t feel bad. Do what is best for you. Did you do a residency? I’m in retail and want to work in a hospital. Any tips?

Hospital is steady job and you work with other people i tech at least you have help around you so you don’t feel lonely

Institutions do what’s best for them and I suggest you exercise the same sentiment for yourself. Any decent manager desires growth for their staff and I’ve NEVER held it against a staff member that elects a better role for them and their families.

Do it. If your position was closed at the first hospital, there’d be no hard feelings.

Do what will make you happy. The other hospital will be sad but you are moving up to a higher role and self growth. Take the new position. It’s full time so you will still get pension/benefits.

I was a Director for30+ years. When a staff member was leaving for better opportunity either clinically or a management position I wished them well and told them (if they were a good employer) that they were always welcome back if it did't work out. They will fully understand your desire to grow in the profession, if not then you really should not be working there long term.

You can’t feel bad—our profession doesn’t advocate for itself well! Be the change and advocate for yourself!

If it’s what you want, and the pay/benefits/commute are good, do it! Be honest with your supervisor that you couldn’t pass up this opportunity to learn and deepen your clinical practice.

Do it 100% been in hospital pharmacy 15 years. These positions are extremely hard to come by.

No need to feel bad! People come and go all the time to pursue a better path
