Right now I am working the perfect job as a Resident Service's Director at a senior living facility. I am essentially the Director of Nursing and I help train and teach new employees. I also do some nursing tasks. I work m-f 8-430 and no holidays or weekends and it is across the street from my house.
The problem is I just graduated RN school last May and I don't have a job that offers hands on experience. I love my job but everyone tells me everyday that I am wasting my time. I have some interviews lined up for hospital jobs but it makes me sad thinking about leaving my dream job and schedule. I also have 2 children so the schedule and distance are so great and I won't see a job like that in nursing for a long time.
So I guess I am just looking for advice from seasoned professionals.
You can pick up skills any time. I can teach you to place an IV, insert a catheter, and drop an NGT in under an hour. What you are learning now is invaluable.
You sound blissfully happy where you work. Why fix what isn't broken?
