I've been at my current critical care job for a little over 8 months. I like what I do and have learned a lot, however, there have been some very recent major family issues (my husband's new medical problems) that require my attention. My current job is night shift fulltime. In order to address the family issues, I need to be home more often and at night. It will most likely take a year to fully get my little family back on track.
In the last week, I have applied to several M-F 8-6 pm nursing positions and will have 3 interviews next week. The positions are those of chronic disease RN educator, OB/Gyn clinic nurse, and Cardiology clinic staff nurse. I will most likely be offered one of these positions (on the positive side) and will now face a new dilemma. I will have to drastically cut back on my hours at the hospital to PRN or quit altogether. I would hate to quit before my year is up because I'd like to keep that bridge open. With that being said, is PRN with the hospital a good idea at least until I reach the year mark? Would it be wise to do this as opposed to quitting?
