They took me in while i was searching but i only took it because i needed something, anything. Now i found a job that i want and I feel bad trying to leave because my department only consist of 2 people and when I'm gone, many are worried that my department will be what hurts us the most because no one can deal with this supervisor that overworks her employees, like I did.

First, in today's' business environment you do not owe loyalty to a company (as they sure as heck will release you when the bottom line says to) as you are working for wages and nothing more. Relative to your department being overworked that is the case universally in the USA these days (every time I left a position for a better one they replaced me with either 2 or 3 people on an average) and the productivity and success of the department is your supervisor's (that's what he/she is being paid to manage) responsibility and not yours so there should be no guilt.
Just explain that you have an opportunity that you cannot pass up which was not on the horizon when you took the job and thank them for the support. Then exit.

Your life and family first-you know how sometimes we say a prayer and don't get the exact answer that we expect but, it turns out for the best? Well think about how much better off that company might be if you left-the other pain in the neck person had to carry all of the weight and one of two things happens.
1. She leaves and all of that bad energy goes with her.
2. Everyone realizes what a great asset she is for staying and they treat her differently so she acts differently and everything changes.
Remember not everything we do is a bad thing and you really can't know for sure what will happen! Good luck with your decision!

They took you in, actually they filled a job that they needed to be done - you got the job on your qualifications. You owe them nothing except a notice and a thank you. I found out a long time ago that it's pretty darn rare that a company falls apart when one person leaves. It might be an inconvenience but they will survive, you are letting guilt enter into a business decision.

If the new position is what you want leave the company, but leave graciously, give a two week notice, continue to do the job as well as you are. They will find someone to come in and take over your spot. Again the key is to leave gracefully without burning any bridges. Good luck to you

Take the new position. The business will go on without you just as it did before you. You need to worry about what is best for you because to be honest, the company you are working for only cares about doing it's own business.

it's business (I'm assuming) meaning that that's the way it goes everyone understands that you have to do what's best for you. And if it was at will employment than everyone understands that you could leave or be dismissed at any time with or without reason. You don't have to defend yourself here because someone's running a department incorrectly they will find a way to deal with it.

Business is business, and your job is your business.
Give proper notice and leave professionally. You do not owe the company anything.
And they would not hesitate to let you go if they were downsizing.
Good luck in your new job
