Just a quick question, I graduated 4 months ago, I have been working 4 months as a ltc nurse, since i was only working part time i kept looking elsewhere cause i thought i wanted more varied experience, now i have two choices and i really dont know which to take
1. work 3 12 hour nights at hospital, or
2. when i turned in notice to ltc was offered ft days as care manager(8-5, M-F).
These are the two work choices, but i have other problems
1. i dont think i will do well on nights
2. my 10 year old son has aspergers and will not adjust to day care well, i have a 14 year old who can stay with him in the summer, but there is always before and after school.
My husband says i am being selfish if i do the ltc cause it will disrupt the kids more with me gone business hours, but i know i might turn into a crazy person if i work nights:uhoh3:. Initially i really wanted the hospital for the skills and experience but is this really so important? Just wondered what others opinions would be, please let me know.
