I haven't even worked at this LTC for a year, but for the most part, I enjoy my job. I am only part time, I work every other weekend, but I have a set routine now and have a good relationship with my fellow nurses and CNA's. My hubby is an over the road truck driver and is only home 2 weekends a month, usually when I'm home. So this switch would upset our quality time together and he has already switched weekends twice b/c of my older son whose dad (my ex) had to switch. It was another nurse that called me with similar problems to mine, not being able to see her kids as much etc. I really hate to disappoint her, but I'm afraid I am going to have to. But, since I so empathize with her, I could probably take an extra weekend or at least a Saturday here and there to give her time with her kiddos.
I don't know who all works with her on her weekends; on my weekends I've got some wonderful CNA's and we mesh well together; I guess in part, I'm afraid to start over in essence, with a new crew etc.
