'Patient First' coming from CC?

[nursetobe2013]

I'm working in a critical unit and, of course, we're constantly understaffed for the acuity, which unit isn't, right? :) Due to family health reasons and child care, I'm considering moving to a less acute area. I've seen postings for local Patient First's in my region and wondered if I'm just stepping from one fire to another. The hours appear to be 8's, which is great, not sure how part-time works there though... less FT days? Less than 8 daily hours? Are they weekend/holiday required to be employed there? I know they're open 364/year, but wondered if there are flexible options, since my health/child care requires that. Does anyone have any insider information on Patient First? Also, what's the Nurse/patient ratio in a shift, a day in the life... has anyone moved from a hospital to a clinic and thought it was the best/worst decision they've made? Unfortunately, there are so many demands from me in my personal life at this time to be utterly exhausted and near depressive after a 12hr shift, that I'm so nervous about taking the leap. Thanks so much!
