I’m Have been an RN for three years. I have worked in the prison system for over two years. I recently applied and was offered a job in the ICU/CCU. Which I would love to try this new adventure. I like to look at pros and cons. Pros of the Prison my boss recognizes my hard work, I have great pay, and a great schedule. Cons-there is at times unequal distribution of duties, some bad attitudes with some of the staff. PPE is not always easy access, who knows who. What’s your thoughts?

New job opportunity would open up so many doors for you. I would go for it.

I agree, I think it's worth doing for a bit. No one says you gotta stay forever!

What's important to you in terms of your career? WLB, career growth, pay? I would look at what opportunities you have at the prison and what opportunities you could have at the ICU and go from there. At the end of the day, you should do what's best for you!

You are going to miss the pay. ICU/CCU is going to come with twice as many cons as well. Unless you really want to, I wouldn't recommend making that move.

There are definitely pros and cons to both, but I think it sounds like you may already have your answer. You seem overall happy where you currently are. Is it really worth rocking the boat? Just saying....the grass isn't always greener...
