Does this make sense?

I'm expecting and baby is due in Dec. I goal is to use little to no daycare. Would it make sense if I went Part-time at my current job and got a PRN job somewhere else where I'd work mainly weekends?

My goal is to work 3/4 weekends so that my husband can watch our baby while I'm work and I can be home during most days of the week. Therefore, we would only be using daycare 1-2 a week.

I wish I can just work part time period but we just bought a new home and have a baby on the way so that isn't possible.

Any suggestions ?

Would it be feasible to work 3 12 hour shifts such as Fri/Sat/Sunday 7p-7a?

If not, I would see if there's a Sat/Sun option, 7a-7p and that would give you 24 hours.

A friend was very pregnant during her last semester of nursing school. Her husband had a very good job and she was a stay at home Mother until their son was in first grade or so. She took a nursing refresher course at the community college and reactivated her license and had no trouble being hired at a rehab facility.

You should check with your BON to find out what are the minimum # of hours per year you need to keep your license active.
