Office vs hospital?Rating: (votes: 0) I also worked in a PCP office prior to becoming a nurse. I opted to work in a hospital setting due to my career goals and where I see myself in the future. Maybe you could work per diem/reserve in the PCP office if you choose to work in the hospital setting. Sounds like your PCP office is a little bit more than the typical setting. Sounds like you would still get great experience in the PCP office. Where do you see yourself in the future? That is going to be the most important factor towards your decision. If you are happy in your current setting and could see yourself as a nurse there long term then I would say stick with that PCP office. You can always switch to a different area of nursing later. Nurses switch career paths all the time. Best wishes. Comment: It is extremely hard to get hired by a hospital after doing office nursing so if you think you want to end up in a hospital do that first. If you think you will be ok with outpatient stuff go with the MD office.Comment: I work in both settings. The clinic I work in is primarily surgical. The hospital and the ambulatory job both have pros and cons. If I had to choose which one job I would keep over the other, it would for sure be the hospital job. I learn more, I do more, it's less monotonous, and hours are more flexible. But that is just my opinion What interests you more?
