I have posted a few times before about going on to the RN program @ fairmont, currently I'm awaiting a yay/nay decision from them. In the meantime, I have found a dream job, I looooove where I work now. I still work 12's but only 8-8, no OT, nothing. I work 10-6 on weekends and I make more than I did at the local veterans nursing home! It's an urgent care and my bosses are so cool about everything. We are closed on thanksgiving day, christmas eve, christmas day, Easter sunday and 4h of july! I get all those holidays w/ my family! So my question, is it worth continuing my degree if I love my job and love the hours or do I continue my degree and make more $$$ but will probably end up having to start out on night shift at a local hospital and working holidays??
I know if I become an RN, an urgent care doesn't need an RN so I'm not sure my bosses will let me stay, I'd love to. They know i'm going to school and support that so it's ok right now.
Anyway, give me your opinions please! Thanks everyone!
