Thanks, the decision is tough because we have young kids. If they were not in the mix, I would take the VA job in a heartbeat!

I am currently a school nurse in the state of NC. I have recently been offered a job with my local VA doing case management. I am very undecided. I love the schedule of my job with the school but recent budget cuts have worried me and made our assignments more spread out. The job at the VA is still a M-F job 8-4:30 and pays alot more and still has awesome benefits but it is hard to walk away from the schools, because as a mom the schedule is great to be with my kids. Any advise out there would be great if you have ever been in those situation or have any knowledge of being a working mom at a VA center

I am currently a school nurse in the state of NC and have been offered a job at my local VA as a case manager. I am struggling with the decision and just don't know what to do. I love the schedule with the schools but the VA is offering alot more money and still has awesome benefits vs. a private sector job. I currently am employed by the state so I have decent benefits here too but have all summer off with my kids. But the job is sometimes monotonous and budget cuts have me scared. Any advice on what I should do or how I would like working at the VA? The job there is still M-F with no nights, weekends, holidays, etc.. But I am just unsure. Help!
