I just interviewed yesterday for a 12 hour every weekend 7pm-7:30 am Saturday and Sunday with a pay of $26/hr and you get paid for 36 hours every week with full benefits and I think I got the job, the ADON said she would have the recruiter start on my references and get back to me. With the position you get 4 paid weekends off a year or you can split them up as well. Currently, I work for a company doing sales not in nursing where I work from home with very set hours that I must be in front of the computer answering phones all day and I make $60k/yr ($30k is the base salary and the other $30k comes as long as I hit the sales quota)there are monthly and quarterly sales quotas that must be met as well as weekly phone time and can be quite stressful. The schedule is Monday, 8-12 and then 5-9 (split shift). Tuesday 8-4, Wednesday, 10-6 thursday 8-4 and friday 10-6 and every other sunday 8-1. 95% of the time I am working more than the hours listed and working about 45 hours week. Even though I work from home, I just feel I have no time at all to do anything. I have 2 kids, a 20 y/o and 11 y/o, happily married but I still have cleaning, errands, laundry, dinner etc to do and I feel like I don't have enough time in a day. I figured out if I work 1 extra day a week doing the 12 hour shifts, I will make what I make currently working from home. What would you do and why?

I worked weekends for 4+ years and enjoyed having five days off in a row every week. The point of a work-at-home job is flexibility, which is lost in the shuffle when your company requires you to sit in front of the computer the entire time.
