Hey everyone, I could really use some advice.
I just graduated nursing school and I’m based in Houston, TX. I applied to several new grad residency programs here but didn’t get into any this cycle.
I recently applied out of state and got an offer in Pittsburgh, so now I’m trying to decide what to do. Part of me wants to take it and start gaining experience, but I’m also considering waiting and reapplying for the next Houston residency cohort.
My main concern is that if I wait, there’s no guarantee I’ll get accepted next time either. At the same time, moving out of state wasn’t really my original plan.
If you were in my position, would you take the offer or wait and try again locally?
