While for some it's a no-brainer... more money, status etc... but have any ones of you taken an upper level position (manager, resident care supervisor etc...) and regret it later, possibly going back to pushing cart? In our facility this type of job is all about logistics. Tons of paperwork, calls, issues resolving, endless meetings, there's very little nursing in that, it's just typical office/management job. And, oh, an 8-hour 5-day, Mo-Fr schedule. I have 12hr schedule (with a few 5-days off in a row periods), and I love it. Tons of free time, come get the job done and leave life. And plenty of paid overtime opportunities, so that I'm sure covers most of salary difference.
What do you think about that? If you were given an opportunity to be promoted to a management job at your facility, would you take it?
