I've been offered a position in Corrections that I am seriously considering. The pay and insurance is comparable to where I am now. The only "real" difference is that the new job would be a 30-40 minute drive each day.
As some of you know, the LTC I am employed in has turned to he- double hockey-sticks for me, and is continuing to get worse.
THe last straw was when I was rooked out of my holiday pay by my boss. She said I called in the night after the holiday, but I did not. I told her 2 weeks previous to then that it would be difficult for me to work that night and go to clinical the next morning....and the weekend of the holiday, she marked me on the schedule as a call in.... no holiday pay for me!
When I left this weekend, I had been so nervous and upset about being there that I actually had dia**hea most of the night! That is not conducive to a good work environment....
Any way.... I've been reading up on the Corrections nursing board, and have done some soul searching, and some praying.... and I made an offer today. I said I would work 2 days a week until I was able to work out of where I am currently (I refuse to allow the current place to keep my 55 hours of PTO time..) and am waiting to hear back from them. If I don't hear by tomorrow, I will call.
Just kind of excited and wanted to toss my ideas and "Yea!" moments out there!
