I’m not in the healthcare field, but if you enjoy learning from people and like the idea of using what you learn, you should continue in a new unit. Also, if you look for another job later on, especially one that’s more challenging or advanced or pays better, I’d assume you’re more likely to get it based on your experience in an actual unit as opposed to patient transport.
You’re no less qualified, since you’re a nurse either way, but a recruiter might want someone with more recent relevant experience and/or sharper skills in specific areas. Not to mention that on-the-job training and day-to-day learning teaches you a lot and you would miss out on a lot of that in patient transport.
Well, people in general seem to be more vocal when something isn’t going right compared to when everything is perfect and amazing.
Let’s also remember that the internet is not entirely reflective of real life, that people exaggerate, and that we only have the perspective of the person speaking/writing at a specific point in time.
