I am presently working in long term care geriatric psych which has not been working out, too much stress and our facility was almost closed for being tagged too many times.
Anyway, I had an interview at a physicians office and am awaiting a call for a second interview. It's a 40 hour position, 10 hour days. I have no idea what the pay scale is until I meet with the physician running the practice.
In the meantime I received a call from a per diem company called Flu clinic (edited by mod). They schedule events such as flu clinics and biometric screenings. Of course the busiest season is now but they operate all year long. The pay for biometrics is 28, 30 for flu clinics and 35 to be a leader. He actually asked me if I could work this Thursday.
This will allow me to give my two week notice and have a back up plan until I can find something permanent if I am not offered this position in the physicians office.
My dilemma is , I don't want to commit to 40 and lose the opportunity for per diem, especially if the pay is below what I am presently making in my position now.

Bear...floor nursing is tough! I oriented for 6 weeks as a new grad on a tele unit and opted out after I oriented. I valued my brand new license and new it was too difficult a unit to work.
What is the quickest way to find more flu clinic agencies in my area? I did a quick google search last night but no luck.
It is difficult, especially now since I'm getting older. You can google medical staffing agencies, indeed, or careerbuilder to find flu clinic/agency jobs.
