You guys are awesome! Thanks so much for the input ?

Hi Nurse Beth. I am a CNA with one year of experience. I work in a LTC facility in memory care on dayshift. I live with my husband and 4 year old son. My goal is to one day finish my prerequisites and apply to nursing school to get my BSN. There is currently an opening for a preceptor in my unit but it is on evening shift. When I inquired to one of our nurse managers about the opportunity she said I was one of the first that managment thought of. I think I stand a pretty good chance but I'm feeling unsure about the pros and cons of requesting an interview. The pros I see is that it is a leadership role which could be very advantageous to my career and could make be a better candidate for nursing school, and that it comes with a raise. It might also make it easier to go back to school part time. The big con would be that I would have to completely change my schedule to where I would see my family less. Is it worth requesting an interview or should I stick with day shift so I don't have to sacrifice time with my family? Any advice is appreciated.
