I been a night shift bedside nurse going on 16 years. A new oppurtunity came up to accept a position as a triage/advice nurse. It is a temp work from home position.
I don't hate bedside but I don't love it either.
I been thinking of moving to a different position lately but I have senority and can get my requested vacations and love all my coworkers. A couple of more years and I can work one weekend a month which is great!
If I leave I would be at the bottom of the list basically starting over. I know triage nursing has its stress and Im sure it can be busy and have its craziness. But Im sure it beats having the stress of bedside care.
I guess im asking what should I do. If I take the triage position I would still want to keep my bedside care job as an extra job 1-2 x a week. Just so if the triaging doesnt work out for me then I can come back to my position.
Should I bite the bullet and go for a change?
uuuhhh decisions decisions...
