I am registered nurse for about 6 months. I work at a large hospital on night shift. I am really not adjusting well to night shift and I have children so needless to say night shift has been an exhausting struggle.
recently I wanted to see what was out there since my unit has no openings on day shift and even if they did I would take a significant pay cut if I went to day shift unless I picked up additional shifts. I applied for a job that I heard about from my school. It was for a registered nurse at a methadone clinic.
i was offered the job Monday- Friday off by 4pm, no holidays and no weekends. Matching my pay I currently make working nights. Only concern is am I shooting myself in the foot only lasting 6 months at the hospital?
really trying hard to decide is it more important to be home with my kids and have a decent normal life and sleep. Or suffer no energy, no sleep, no time with my kids because I sleep all day on my days off.
never worked in methadone clinic all I know is hospital nursing. We have phlebotomist draw labs at hospital. Concerned I am not prepared to work in methadone clinic if I did take the job.
help please! Any feedback or advice very much appreciated I have to decide today I been putting this off too long.
