Taking that first job....

I am a recent new grad seeking employment at one of the only areas in the country without a nursing shortage! Our city (Ft Collins, CO) is rated one of the top 10 cities in the US to live so consequently....Anyway...getting into the local hospitals is not looking to good at present without experience. I have been offered a job with a Dialysis clinic in a chronic care setting. Does anyone know if this is "critical enough" to establish good skills etc? I am afraid it is like working at a nursing home...like once you go there it is hard to go to more acute settings. Any input would be so appreciated!!! Please share with me some areas others have started and if they were able to move on to more acute settings such as a hospital.
Thanks all!
Jill
