I'm an RN, looking to go to UK. At the moment I have part time job at tertiary hospital, I work 7x 8 hours shifts per fortnight. I like working there part time because you don't get the day to day hassels, maybe something about absence making the heart grow fonder.
So, I suplement my income with agency when needed. However, because of my plans to work overseas, I want to get my mortgage paid in advance and will have other expenses, such as registration, passport renewal, air tickets ect ect. Pus, I want a large saving account as well.
I had saved $10,000 but recently paid off my credit card, $2000 and closed it down as I paid it off three times now and use it for large bills instead of working So, I'm down to $8000 and really wanted about $15,000 to leave with.
So, I was thinking of working agency more. Like 7 shifts a fortnight, 6 hour ones are all they offer. So in effect I would be working 7 days a week.
Unforunately, I cannot do night duty so can't work less shifts to get more money. I can't do double shifts either.
Has anyone done it and what was it like if they did? Time frame wise, I am looking at doing this until March 2004.
