Choosing a job- between a rock and a hard place

Hello everyone,

This is my first time posting, I would appreciate any help with my current situation please .
I currently work on a medicine unit at a large teaching hospital, specifically UMMC. I have been applying for other positions internally, and at other institutions.
I am currently enrolled at Univ MD for my masters, so the tuition reimbursement at UMMC is amazing, that's about $10,000 a year. However pay is not as ideal.

Recently I interviewed for a position at FSH medstar for an ER RN position, which I was offered a position. I live closer to this hospital, and the hours would be steady nights. Pay is higher, however tuition reimbursement is $3,000 a year. I responded saying that I needed some time to consider this position due to an appt, and the HR rep understood.

I have an interview this week for another unit at UMMC for a transplantunit. I also live about 20 minutes away from this hospital without traffic. My question is, if I was to be offered a position to transfer (in which I do have experience with some transplant patients), which position would be the better choice?

P.S. I also owe my current hospital back the money borrowed from one semester if I break my contract, in which we owe 6 months to them after passing the course.
If tuition is your priority then stay where you are. The pay us probably a few bucks different but it's worth staying at umms for the tuition. Fsh is a super busy Ed so keep that in mind as well.

Thank you! That's what I'm leaning towards.

Let us know what you decide!!!

The $7000 difference in tuition reimbursement, if you work 40 hours every week, would come to about $3.36/hr for a year. Is the new job offering more than that? This is of course not counting any other benes nor the money you'd have to pay back.

Thanks everyone! I'm still waiting in my interview this wed, so ill update! I'd be making about $3 more on my base pay, and then night differential, so it'd be about $5 more an hour. Also, I pay roughly $80 monthly on parking at Ummc, so with free parking I'd save so much money.
