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.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
