Important Decision

Today is decision day.

I am considering two job opportunities. One is already offered the other is past the interview stage but dragging their feet offer wise.

I have to choose today to accept the one offer or not. I've been putting them off for a week now.

The problem is I think the one that is dragging their feet is probably the most "secure" choice. However, theres no guarantee they are going to offer the job. This position is with the same company I am currently with, just a different dept.

I don't want to risk losing out on an opportunity but I am torn as to what to do.

The offer is with a local hospital, night shift, something totally new for me and interesting to me but other than the night shift part, the other thing that causes hesitation is low census concerns. In other words, no patients and I could get sent home, not get the hours I need. This is a concern.

On the flip side, I currently drive 44 miles twice a day to my present job and would continue to do so even with another dept here. The new position is only 12 miles from home.

In a nutshell, I need some prayer help here to make the right choice. This mess is actually causing my blood pressure to rise. Yesterday it was 159 over 97 and I can tell its high again today.

Thanks for your prayers!

Take it ( or stay where you are)! Then apologize of you get a better offer and take that! No one could blame you.

I thought about that but didn't know how well that would be "viewed". I wouldn't want to hurt my chances if something came up in the future.
