Jul 16, 2017 by NurseLife88 Go ahead and keep the side job. The discount is always nice. And sometimes a second non nursing job can help decrease the burn out many nurses face. I have a friend who has been a nurse for years but maintains her job at a major department store for the discount and also for a break from nursing. If you feel it can easily be accommodated with your lifestyle and schedule then go for it😊 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jul 16, 2017 by Glycerine82 Hell yea, keep it. Just use that money to buy clothes with your discount and add some nursing money to buy LOTS of clothes :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jul 16, 2017 by saskrn If it doesn't take away from valuable family time, or something equally important, I would keep the retail job. It sounds like you enjoy it, and they've been supportive and obviously like you. Additionally, it will be a nice change of pace from your nursing position. Less stress, and you can shop for clothes!

Jul 16, 2017 by SaltySarcasticSally No definitely keep it! I just started a new grad residency on a Tele floor myself and once off orientation will do PRN in LTC because I enjoyed it as an LPN. Plus I like the security of having a foot in two different job doors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
