I am a full time nurse on an ortho unit, and I am completely burnt out and searching for another area of nursing. I recently interviewed for a full time school nurse position and have been very excited, the only thing is that I always take family and my spouse's opinions to heart and well lets just say they don't seem very excited about this possible job change. My husband and family will always be supportive in whatever I do, but the one thing they have both questioned is the pay and working 5 days a week. They just don't get how miserable I am at my current job (12 hour shift usually = 14-15 hours, with maybe 15min. for lunce and 2-3 bathroom breaks) and yes the pay is better at the hospital and there will be a decrease if I accept the school nurse position (my husband and I just bought our first house) but I am at the point where I just want to enjoy going to work and not worry all the time!!! I guess I am just looking for any advice, I just don't know what to do.
