I HAVE BEEN OFFERED A CNA POSITION ON AN ORTHO FLOOR AT A HOSPITAL FULL TIME 7-3 MON-FRI AND EOW.:yeah: I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON A CARDIAC FLOOR, BUT I HAVE GROWN TIRED OF THIS PLACE:down:. I HAVE CHANGED MY SCHEDULE, I HAVE CUT MY HOURS TO 3 TWELVES A WEEK, I EVEN HAVE TRIED WORKING EVERY WEEKEND TO GET AWAY FROM MANAGEMENT AND THE CONSTANT SCRUNITY PUT UPON THE CNAS.:yawn: I REALLY NEED A CHANGE. BUT I AM IN DEEP FINANCIAL DEBT RIGHT NOW, IT IS SO HARD TO MAKE ENDS MEET AS A CNA AND I REALLY NEED A SECOND JOB. I AM IN SCHOOL RIGHT NOW FOR MY NURSING PREREQS BUT IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO MAKE MORE MONEY AND A SECOND JOB RIGHT NOW WOULD BE GREAT. I HAVE ACCEPTED THE JOB OFFER BUT I WOULD NEED TO GO DOWN TO PART TIME HOURS ON THE CARDIAC FLOOR. I WOULD LIKE SOME ADVICE ON WHAT I SHOULD SAY TO MY CURRENT EMPLOYER ON GOING PART TIME. MANAGEMENT HAS BEEN KNOWN TO BE PRETTY HARSH ON THE CNAS WHEN IT COMES TO CNAS GETTING OTHER JOBS OR TRYING TO LEAVE. SHOULD I TELL THEM ABOUT MY OTHER JOB OFFER AND REQUEST TO GO PART TIME, OR SHOULD I TELL THEM I WANT TO GO PART TIME AND GIVE THEM ANOTHER EXCUSE AND NOT TELL THEM ABOUT THE OTHER JOB.

MY WISH IS THAT THEY LET ME GO TO PART TIME WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE, BUT MY GUT TELLS ME IT WON'T BE THAT EASY. WHAT SHOULD I DO?? ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED.:):)

I would tell them you want to go part time so you can work on your BSN. They should support your education, it makes you a better CNA or RN.
