Should I work in a nurology clinic or an allergy clinic?

[Nurse girl 13]

Hi everyone,

I currently work on a in the Pacu and have an opportunity to work Monday thru thursday 830 to 6 pm 9 hour days working in a neurology clinic as an RN working closely with the doctor doing a lot if patient education.

I also have an opportunity working Monday through Friday 8 hour days in an allergy clinic traveling to different locations working with two different doctors and otherr nurses. I am trying to decide between the two and would like to hear from nurses who alreasdy work in these types of clinics. Any information would be appreciated. I am making thed switch becasuse I am a single mom and need more regular hours, no holidays, no weekends, no on call.

I would choosw neurology clinic. First, I find it more interesting, secondly I prefer to work in one place.

Will you have childcare that gives you enough time to pick up your children if you are running late at the neurology clinic? I ask because daycares around here usually close at 6pm. If you will, I'd probably go with that option as well since it's 4 days a week (as long as the 36 hour week will be enough to support your family and has the benefits you need for your family).

I would take the neuro position because I would find allergy shot clincs monotonous (just my personal preference). I would also prefer a 3 day weekend.

The only issue I could see is the longer days. Would you have extended daycare of after school care?

Child care is not a problem my kids are in high school and I'll be home every night at a decent time which does not happen in my current position.
