RN Starbucks side job?

[borninaugust30]

I've been a nurse for 3 years and love my job, but only working 3 shifts a week, I find myself with a lot of free time. In college I worked at Starbucks and absolutely loved it, and kind of miss it to be honest. Would it be absolutely insane to get a part time at Starbucks not for the money but for my own enjoyment/sanity?

My coworker (LVN) also worked a side job at a national drug store chain. She had been there many years and had accumulated some retirement so she kept at it.

Free Starbucks? What better job could there be, right?

Again, my thoughts exactly! You must be able to read my mind

My day job is management, a fair commute and not super enjoyable. I work for peanuts for 4 hours every week at a local charity. RNs are there for health screening but I spend most of my time helping elderly people with little problems---argue with the cable company for them, fill out online passport applications, talk about their problems. Helps me connect with people in my community as a helper rather than the villainous manager

Do it!

If you really enjoy being a barista, do it!

I used to sell makeup/skincare and do makeovers at a counter in a department store and LOVED my job. I was never stressed and my coworkers and I could sit and talk and make each other over all day.

Some days I think about going back and working there part time/per diem just to have fun and use it as a stress reliever from my nurse job!

Is that totally weird of me?

Understand that money is not the issue, and the part-time job at Starbucks is just to break routine. But why not do something nursing related, like: becoming more educated, picking up classes, or even study to become certified in an area or nursing. In my opinion working at the coffee shop after you have become a nurse seems kind of a waste of time. But this is just my opinion.

Free coffee though.. or discounted!

For me, I'd have to be doing something I either REALLY enjoyed, made more money than I would nursing (ie. escort) or furthering my education.
