Please help me pick a job


Background: New LPN grad. Need FT due to husband on lay-off. Want to eventually go for RN with tuition help from employer. Have 2 kids that I need to be able to see.

Choices:
1- PT(28hr/wk), with benefits(Insurance) and opportunity to pick up more hours, tuition reimbursement, less hourly wage, evening/night/weekends. Can eventually get FT days in a clinic (hopefully).

2- PT (16hr/wk), no benefits, opportunity to pick up more hours, tuition reimbursement, less hourly wage, night shift.

3- FT, Evening shift(2nd), every other weekend, benefits, NO tuition reimbursement, $3 more per hour.

*note* can do job 1&2 together to get more hours.

I've spoken to my family and friends for their opinion but hoping for more input. THANKS

Default Re: Please help me pick a job
Honestly I would go with the fulltime job. 2 part time jobs will just burn you out. It may not seem too hard and stressful, but it will be. Tuition reimbursment sounds good, but with 3 dollars an hour more and fulltime shifts.... it sounds a lot less stressful. Especially since you are a new grad!
