I cant decide between two jobs

[Deekay8]

Hello.

I have a decision to make and I am having trouble. Right now I have a temp ft job which ends in 5 months and I just obtained a pt position that is a year long. I cannot do both because my schedule would clash alot as the pt job basically gets ft hours. The pt job is at a large new hospital while the temp ft is in a small old hospital. I am thinking of quitting the temp ft job or ask to go pt or casual, but but I am afraid my manager will be upset. I have only worked at the temp ft for a month. Any suggestions as to what I should do? Thanks. They are both med surg.

That's a hard question to answer and there is a lot more to a job than the hours. Which one is better staffed? Benefits, pay?

However, if your only concern is that your boss will be upset with you, I urge you to do what is right for YOU. Your boss will do right for him/her and the hospital will definitely do what's best for their bottom line.

Good luck with your decision.

Sounds like then bigger hospital / longer term is more desirable. Just be honest with your manager- if she/he is a decent person they will understand. If they don't- better that you left!!!
