I've been a nurse for 9 years and the last 2 years I have been a cardiac rehab nurse. I love this job, the hours, the flexibility, but before I took this job, I was finishing my master's in legal studies: healthcare compliance. I've been offered a regulatory coordinator position (same company, fully remote, roughly $30,000 more a year, M-F, no holidays or weekends/nights)
I currently work M-Th averaging 34 hours a week. I'm stuck on whether or not I will regret leaving this job or if I will love the new role and not look back! I currently commute for this job ~30 miles to work and then back home. I'm in a rural hospital so I am the only RN. I work under physical therapy, so I have no room for growth or leadership opportunities.
Has anyone transitioned out of cardiac rehab and regretted it? Are there any regulatory nurses that think the transition would be worth it? I'm a policy/compliance nerd so keep that in mind!
Thanks for any input!
