I currently work in PA at a LTC facility on 3rd shift (w/$1 shift diff), and am changing to 2nd shift this week (w/$3 shift diff), basically had no choice due to position eliminated

. I am concerned as to wether I'll have some semblance of a personal home/family life. My husband works 6A-3P Mon-Fri, and my daughter gets home from school at 3:30. Of those of you out there with families who work 2nd shift, how does it work for you. What is the best way for me to handle the change

? I'm told by my co-workers that I'll like the paycheck, but I won't see my family as much

. I am thinking about looking elsewhere (possibly MD) and also doing my LPN-BSN online while I work.
Any thoughts?
