I am on my first semester of an FNP program and in my program, we start clinical hours/rotations our first semester. Working 3 days a week and being at the clinic 2 days a week leaves me only 2 days for studying and family/me time which can be somewhat stressful at times.
I thought about dropping to PT which would give me that extra day or two per week, but my salary would decrease as well.
What do you guys think about someone going PRN and working still 2 days a week and when needed only work once per week and when possible even do 3 per week. Doing it this way I will have the flexibility needed and since I would be PRN I would be making more money per hour which would benefit me since I would be working less hours some weeks.
The only issue here would be the medical insurance and the vacation/pto benefits as well as life insurance.
I am a single man with my girlfriend which we live together. I am in a pretty normal healthy state of health which if something was to happen, I could always go back to PT to get my medical insurance.
