Hi all. I have been a staff nurse at a small hospital for 2 years. I was hired as Rotating Nights/days on 12 hours shifts on the neuro unit. I am still rotating back and forth in the same week. Sometimes I work a dayshift then turn around and work nightshift the next night. My husband also does rotating shifts which was fine when I first started nursing but since then we have had a baby who is now 1. We don't have a lot of people that can watch her at night since we only have daycare during the day (M-F). My mom usually watches her if we need her all night but she has health issues and isn't able to watch her much anymore. Sooo...there is a job opening in a Doctors Office for a Surgical Scheduling Coordinator which is M-F 8-4:30. I am so tired of the stress week to week trying to figure out our schedules, when she is going to daycare, who can watch her what night, etc etc but I am worried about going from 12 hours shifts having 4 days off to working 5 days a week. Any suggestions/advice? I think at this point I have no choice because of our family situation and family comes first but I'm just having some hesitation.
