Question ...Is This A Good Thing Or Not

Nurses General Nursing

Hi Everybody...... Ok I have a question..... it's almost sound like a no brainer...... but you know the saying if it sounds to good to be true then is probably isn't true

The hospital I am interested in working for, once I graduate has a program that allows you to go to nursing school full time.

I would work for the hospital every Sat and Sun 2 12hour shifts and get paid for 36 hrs........as a nurses aide, they would pay my tutition, I would immeadiately start accruing vacation time, be eligible for benefits and 401k. In return I must be a full time nursing student.... and upon graduation and licensing, I would agree to work for them for 2 years.

Now, this is the hospital I want to work for when I graduate because it is 1/2 a mile from my house..... it belongs to a pretty large Health Care System in my area, and in all my dealing with them as a patient, mother and now possible employee the staff has been wonderful

I am currently enrolled a a nursing student part time completing my pre-requistes and working full time,,,,, and caring for my 2 kids....and my hubby.. This scenario would of course allow me to finish school in 2 years... instead of 4.....and I could concentrate on school full time.

I really don't know why I can't make a decison.... I am just so nervous about commiting to this program....

Does anybody else know anything about these programs.......what the pro & cons are.......

Your comments and opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Brenda

:eek:

I worked those hours about 20 years ago. I was sooooo tired on Monday, I wasn't back to normal until Wednesday.

The weekends are usually minimally staffed and I never sat down until time to report at 7pm.

On the other hand, with children and school, it may be too good to pass over. At 40, I just don't think the old bod' could do that again. In my situation, that is.

Good luck!
