      Drop to PRN status

I currently work full time at a LTC facility in a memory care unit as a CNA but have an interview for a possible position as a CNA at an assisted living facility that also has a memory care unit onsite. I am wondering if I should give my notice at my current position if I was offered the job or if I should just drop down to PRN status. I love the residents at my current job and also a majority of my coworkers but I don't like the way they schedule me (lately I have been scheduled to work more than 70 hours a week) and I would prefer to work at a facility that's closer to home. The facility I am interviewing at is right down the street from my house, has the same benefits and additional benefits on top of what I have now. I have been working at my current employer since July 2016. Someone please give me advice. I'm torn.

I'd wait until I got an actual job offer, and then make a choice.

That's what I was planning on doing...but I wanted advice on whether people thought it made sense to stay and drop down to PRN or just give my notice and move on.

I'd change my status to PRN...this way, you'll have a predictable job to return to if the new workplace turns out to be an unpleasant place to work. You need to play it safe in today's world.
