I can understand being nervous, but as you've undoubtedly heard, hospital job opportunities for new grads are extremely rare. Besides, this job sounds pretty good. Take the job! Once you get to your new city, you can get involved in sports or a faith community or volunteering or some other organization and that can help you meet new people.

I am a P4 and got a job in a small city of ~100k population in the midwest. Major urban city is 2 hours away.
Job details:
10.5 hr shifts, 4 days a week, weekends every 3rd week- hybrid clinical job, rounding with doctors, clinical activities, decentralized on various floors.


50/hr for days
51.5/hr for evenings
53/hr for nights
7on/off diff. 56/hr (no clinical activities)


What do you think?
I like the job, but am nervous about moving to a small city as I am younger, have never lived in a small city and do not have a family.

that is not a small town. I live in a town <20K and I love it. I am married, that helps for the social aspect but I have met a lot of people through work and intramural sports and just meeting people in my neighborhood. Take the job.

That was my first reaction. There should be enough to do in a city that size as long as you actively get involved.

You'll just have to remember to put on shoes when you go to the Big City. They don't look kindly on barefoot yokels.

Thanks all for the advice! I just called the director. Moving to Arkansas in June. Half-pay until I get my license. Yes!

Thanks for the advice! How can you have "Faith" after 6 years of science though? Were you not paying attention in class or what?!

Congrats!

So do you get a nice straight-forward commute on that road?

No, no - I'm WAY south of that

So do you get a nice straight-forward commute on that road?

Yes, it's pretty much straight west. It was a nice little pharmacy that had taken in a lot of patients from closed indie pharmacies. If I won the lottery, I would reopen old indie pharmacies, add soda fountains to them and make the people of the little towns happy whilst hemorrhaging money from nonexistent reimbursements.
