What's better: part-time with benefits or flex with no benefits?

Nurses General Nursing

Part time meaning, 3 days a week (every other weekend) evening shift.

I don't know what to pick. I have 4 classes right now but this semester will be ending in about a month. And then for the summer I have one class once a week evening. And then the following fall, I have day classes three days a week.

What schedule should I choose???:eek:

Specializes in LTC.

Here's the most important question, do you need the benefits?

Specializes in school nursing, ortho, trauma.

I agree - it depends on whether or not you need benefits. If you don't need the benes then go for the more flexible schedule

Specializes in Oncology.

depends on what area the two positions are for. I just accepted a position where it's 40hrs a pay period which means I'm working 3days one week & 2 days the next I have class 5 days a week (including clinical). School does end in a few weeks but it's all about time management. I was getting stressed & regretting my decision, but I made myself a calender with eveything I had to do & I feel soooo at ease. I'm even working during finals week. You'll be fine. Go get the experience! Good luck!
