am i crazy?

[mark_LD_RN]

I was just wondering if others think i am crazy for making the following decision.

I was offered a job as Director of maternal child unit at another local hospital about 10 minutes further away from my house than current hospital, pay was approx 10,000 more a year, working 5 days a week, supposedly flexible hours, but on call almost all the time. benefits were about the same.

I decide to stay where I am at because i enjoy what i do and where I work, I have been in management positions before and did not really enjoy it. friends and family think i am crazy to have turned it down.

but my thinking is, It's not all about money to me. I prefer to be happy and enjoy what i do. and to work with and for people I like. besides I love caring for my patients and am sure i would miss that badly.

well let me know what you think:)

No amount of $$$ will make you happy.

If it had been the $$$, and I had been stupid, I would have been an MD.

Mark, I do definitely think you made a great decision in staying and MD Terminator, what is this thing you have against doctors???? Can't be ALL of them, can it???Sorry, but I see that common denominator in most of the threads you post.....

Sorry to ask that here Mark.....I am just curious......I can certainly identify with Mark AND MD Terminator ( with job decisions AND docs...)
