Hey there guys n gals I have a slight dilemma..let me start off by saying I an thankful to be in this position but a bit on the fence..u see, I got offered two different jobs as an LPN I recently got accepted to an RN school that starts in August so the first job is at a nursing home I have zero experience in the nursing home..shift is 3-11pm with alternating weekends..$23/hr with NO benefits I will be the only nurse on the floor with 36-38 patients under my care (I have a small 4 year old son this may be an issue along with the hours..I fear I won't see him as often as I would like) job offer number two is at a dermatologists doctors office which offers $24/hr with benefits and paid time off (2weeks plus 3 personal days) the hours would be 7:30am to 4:00pm or 8:30am to 5:00pm depending on the day of the week (but this may or may not interfere with my school schedule although there are night classes) the practice manager says there is only one provider but the practice is extremely busy as there are constantly procedures being done and loads of patients..I will be the only LPN along with other RNs PAs and medical assistants (which with MAs I have had some bad experiences with..no offense but there seems to be a power struggle) as of now I just quit my job at a cardiovascular doctors office where I was treated as an MA and not getting enough experience as an LPN I was constantly running back and forth doing vitals barely had a chance to sit legs would ache for hours after work it was awful I got paid $19/hr I hated it I got no respect whatsoever..I fear I may have a similar experience if I take up the second offer..any insight would help..what are some pros/cons to working in the nursing home vs doctors office? Keep in mind I have school starting and a young son thank you do much in advance I'm sorry for making it do long but I have to Ket both places know my decision by Monday :/ :)
