Mon-Fri Rn Jobs no weekends or holidays

Published

Just curious as to what jobs to look for regular hours. My partner and I are looking to start a family and I'm tired of getting home late and barely seeing him. And when we start a family I feel like I'll never see them. I don't want to miss out on weekend sports and parent teacher conferences or even holidays. I have 5yrs med-surge/tele experience and almost a yr in SICU experience. I'm looking in to PACU jobs but some want 2yrs ICU experience. Has anyone done insurance? I was looking into that too but I'm lost as to what other jobs to look for. Thanks so much

Specializes in Research, Neurology.

Try Research. I'm a Research RN and work a usual M-F 8-4p. Although I participate on the acute stroke trial team, and thus have to participate in on-call coverage. But I know some Research RNs who work in Oncology Clinical Trials and they dont have any on-call duties.

Specializes in School Nursing, Home Health.

School nursing, department of health jobs (contraceptive nurse ect), Home health nursing is flexible but you have to take call at times.

You will get a pay cut in almost any of them but worth it!

I'm a school nurse and do home health on a PRN basis.

I do insurance work from home case management. I loved it when I first started but now I find it boring, isolating, and I miss in person interactions. But on the plus side, it’s M-F, no weekends or holidays, higher pay than acute care, and very flexible- I’m able to drop my kids off to school, pick them up, and log off when I need to go to appts, etc. I also had this level of flexibility and high pay when I did home health visits so look into that too.

I have worked in GI for 5 years now. I am currently working at a private endoscopy center. M-F 0730-1730 with Tuesdays off. No weekends. No holidays. No on call. Best job ever. Best money ever. I’ll never go back to bed side.

This question is asked at least once weekly here. So for what seems like the hundredth time I’ll comment with “IR”.

Make sure you get a full Year of SICU. PACU, IR , cath lab etc all require at least one 1 critical care exp. Many are okay with just 1 year so keep looking.

Don't you have to take call, thus putting you at work on holidays or nights? My Dad had a stroke on Thanksgiving. The IR call team had to come in that night and work in order to perform an emergency thrombectomy.

I went from bedside nursing, to outpatient surgery, then eventually into management as Director of Nursing in an ASC. I will say that in outpatient you do have much more flexibility and mainly day hours although you might be trading three 12 hour shifts for five 9-10 hour shifts. We started early (6am) and sometimes were there until 6pm. It depends on where you're at. I have since made the move to school nursing which I thought would be a huge pay cut, however, the benefits and pension are SO worth it and compared to what I was paying out for insurance at the ASC it's almost a wash. I get paid on a teachers salary all 12 months of the year and get all the same time off as teachers. I am really not losing that much and I am gaining my sanity and much needed time off with my family. I am using my extra time wisely by going back for my MSN to one day eventually teach online and have tons of flexibility. The schools also offer pay increases for every 15+ credits of college level classes you take on top of your existing degree so in educating myself I am also giving myself a raise! Look into your local districts, it's worth it!

I'm a fertility nurse, Mon-Fri with one Saturday a month. I recently moved into a donor egg position, and my day to day job consists mostly of emailing and calling clients to coordinate donor egg cycles. I work most Saturdays in the OR for the OT, and I miss being more hands on. The schedule works really well for my family and I have the option to work from home as well. My job is very specialized so the compensation is comparable to my friends that work in the local hospitals.

Yeah I usually go over that part in detail but Like I said I’ve answered this kind of post so many times I just forgot this time lol. My on call holiday for the year (not everyone gets one) was MLK day ??‍♀️ Also its pretty easy to give away your call. I pick up a lot of extra call from people who don’t want theirs.

oh and we don’t do neuro IR-separate hospital.

I worked nurse triage in a clinic and I worked M-F 8-5 but I had to work 1 holiday a year from home. It was not bad and you hardly get any calls and can still interact with your family since the headset was wireless.
