Need Some Advice-New Job or Stay at Current Job?

Published

Hello

I currently work at an upscale LTC facility. I love all of the residents and love the people I work with. In addition, the facility is paying for my RN to BSN, with a 2 year contract after the program finishes. However, there have been a lot of changes recently. They have fired some nurses, cutting hours:(, eliminating double weekend schedule, demoting people, and just doing a lot of shady things I do not agree with. I have been on the waiting list for a day shift every since I started 10 months ago. I work the double weekend shift, which I like, but starting the 19th I have to go back to working 2:30-11pm, which I hate.

This is my question, I recently applied for 4 positions at a local hospital that a friend works at. Good benefits and salary. They will eventually have tuition assistance, but does not pay for the whole program. Cheaper medical insurance as well.

So WHAT SHOULD I DO? SHOULD I STAY OR GO? THE ONLY BENEFIT OF STAYING IS THE FACILITY PAYS FOR MY SCHOOL. I am already $50K in debt cause I went to a private school for my ADN because the wait list was 3 years for the community college. I am torn and not sure if I should stay or not. I hate the schedule.

I need advice. Please help.

Only you can decide if it is financially possible for you to switch jobs. Compare the pros & the cons-better work environment vs. payment for school-can you afford to make the swap. With cheaper medical insurance and a good salary, you could save money towards school. If you are unhappy then do not let it get to the point where you dread going to work. Do what you feel would be best for you financially & emotionally.
