I’m a student living in Osaka and graduating next year.
This content is machine-translated.
I’m having trouble deciding where to work after graduation: should I take a job at a local clinic that’s a 10-minute walk from home, or work in Osaka City, which would take about an hour by train? I’m in the medical field.
If I work in the city, I’d get a commuter pass to Osaka City, which would be convenient for going out on my days off.
However, workplaces in the city tend to be extremely busy, and many have terrible interpersonal relationships.
The local clinic is just an ordinary neighborhood clinic, but the staff get along well and it’s moderately busy.
The salary is about the same in both places.
The patients in the city are mostly young people and office workers, while the local clinic mainly sees elderly patients, so I probably wouldn’t meet anyone there.
Should I prioritize the short commute and good relationships at work…?
The city job would be better for improving my medical qualifications and skills, since I’d be able to attend seminars and so on.
I’m in Seattle.
Commute time is a waste, so I vote for staying in a neighborhood close to where you live.
I figured I could move somewhere I really like once I got used to the job and felt more confident.

If you’re a new graduate, you should start out on a hospital ward at a general hospital.
The head of nursing said that new graduates aren’t yet fully qualified as nurses—not that they’re useless, but simply that they still have a lot to learn.
That includes dealing with patients and their families, but can you read an ECG? Can you start an IV successfully on the first try?
There are so many illnesses out there. I don’t think you even know about the pathogens we call “pink”—they’re actually very common. Infection control can’t be done halfheartedly either.
Work on yourself and become a fine healthcare professional.
I’m looking forward to seeing you get there ♡
☆ Clinics aren’t places where all the “nice” people go. They’re places where people with solid skills—after being toughened up by experience somewhere else—end up working. They just know how to get along without creating conflicts~.

I’m Maezawa from the CEO’s office, and I’ll answer this as well.
It seems like relationships with your coworkers are more important, but can you really know what they’ll be like before you start working there?
I feel like you might find things are different once you actually start. Or have you worked part-time at both places and experienced them firsthand?
Thinking about the future, perhaps you should choose the place where you can improve your skills related to your medical qualification, then move to a workplace with better relationships once your skills have improved.
Ultimately, though, I think it comes down to what you personally value most.

You should discuss it thoroughly with your parents and teachers, visit potential workplaces and attend interviews, exchange information with your classmates, and ultimately make the decision yourself.
