Which one u would choose?

I am a doctor and I recently started to work at a place I was assigned to.Lets call it town A. Its 3.5 hrs drive from my home town. Its a quiet hospital with limited facilities and patients. Not much to do actually. Just spending time. I have 7 days off in a month.

Yesterdat I got a call from my home town and they asked me if I could go there and work in one of the city centers hospital. Its crowded with lots of work and it is in my home town. Lets call it town B.

Now Idk which one to choose. In town A I am like a surgeon without an operation room and in town B I am like a surgeon with many surgeries.
The pay might be better in town A despite of the less workload.

So which one u think I should go for?

Just from reading your story, I think your heart really wants to be in your hometown with your husband. Sometimes distance can really get old and tiring and cause an unintentional drifting, if you know what I mean. I think you should be with your husband and I feel that you like challenges and can grow more in your profession and it will feel more rewarding. I think it's important to keep the family together for many reasons. I think you might get bored not having enough to do at Town A, as well.

@LadyGrace thank u so much. Yes thats exactly how I feel. But the challenges and the workload in my hometown kinda scare me as I am just abt to start. I am afraid of not being able to do well in my job

@Foxygirl32 What would make you feel more secure about the challenges if you were in your town, as far as skills? Perhaps you have a doctor friend you could talk to about that to ease your mind. I think any doctor would feel really challenged to take this on, but remember all those who came before you and are in the same position you are in now, at one time. I imagine they were pretty scared about it too, but that's really the great thing about it. I'm sure though it might have been kind of hard at the beginning, they did learn and grow pretty quickly as they had to and I think you're up for it. I know it's scary but I believe with your training you can do it. You could even talk to a good friend about it who's in the medical profession and see how they adjusted and if you feel like you need more training, it may just be that maybe you don't need new training but that you just need the experience and I truly believe by challenging yourself, it will be so rewarding, once you get the experience, you'll be so glad you went ahead and took the challenge. I believe you have the training you need. It's just a matter of confidence and that goes for anybody in your position. As a doctor, I don't know if you believe in God, but if you do, I know God will help you get through this. Prayer is the key that opens the door and I believe God has opened this door of opportunity to you for a reason. That's where he's calling you, he knows that's where you would be happiest, and that it would be best for you, all the way around. And him being able to see ahead, maybe he is seeing that they need you there. I pray he will give you the confidence to take the challenge and if he does he will meet you there and help you get through it. You can also watch others and what they do during an operation. Kind of get the gist of how they work at that hospital. I sure think you're smart enough and just think if you have a problem in any certain area, once you see how it's done, then you'll know exactly what to do the next time. I'm sure you'll remember, once you do it. I wish you the best in your decision.
