Hospital Vs. Doctors office

Published

I am currently a night shift nurse at a rural hospital where I have worked for a year, and I love it! My husband however, is not so fond of the hours, we are wanting to start a family soon so I was considering transferring to the local doctors offices as a float nurse. I already have relationships with all of the doctors, and know their personalities, both good, and bad, but am torn on whether I want to work for them full-time. Any thoughts as far as the pros and cons of my situation?

Why not try going to day shift and see how it works? Transferring to a clinic may also mean a pay cut.

The problem I have encountered is that everyone wants to work days at the hospital, since I am one of the low men on the totum poll there is no slot. It is a slight pay cut I will only be losing my differentials since I will technically be working for the same hospital district.

I will say you are still busy. Is this primary care or a specialty??

I would be in a float position so a little of both, mostly primary.
