HELP! Which job do I choose???

[litebrightgirl]

Hi. I'm currently work in a SNF 6a-2p. I'm off every Wednesday and have alternating days off during the week plus e/o weekend. I have also been hired to work in a hospital M-F start time anywhere from 730a-9a and call every 7th weekend in digestive health. I'm so confused as to which job to take. I'm a LPN and currently in school to hopefully get into a RN program next year. The hospital job is about an hour away, my current job is 8 minutes from my house. Right now I'm able to pick my son up off the bus but if I take the hospital job I won't be able to do that, my husband or oldest daughter will have to. Plus I'll lose having "me" time during the week since my schedule will be M-F. I've been trying to get into this hospital for 4 years(yes, 4 YEARS)!! I know if I take the hospital job I'll have my foot in the door when I become a RN. Another thing is that I will have a HUGE paycut taking the hospital job ($5 difference). What should I do? I don't start at the hospital until Oct 1. PLEASE I've been wrestling with this decision for a while. HELP!!!
