Single parent nursing

Hello fellow nurses,

I have been nursing for about 6 years and recently divorced. I work as an agency nurse and make my own schedule week to week.

I can work days or nights and average 42 dollars per hour. If I work 3 days a week, I take home $850 then 500 for each day after that. I was wondering , if I should get a nanny for my nine year old girl or should I just work 3 days a week . My rent is 1600/month . I don't really want to leave her home alone for night shift.

    You need to sit down and look through all of your finances and decide if you need that extra income for working more than 3 days. You also need to see how much a nanny would cost to see if the extra income covers the cost of the nanny and any extra expenses that may come with it.
