Weekend package

Does anybody work a weekend package position - 12 hours shifts Friday, Saturday, Sunday? I recently got an offer for this. I am a mom of a two year old. It would cut our day care costs by $500/month. The only day my son would need daycare is on Fridays for 5 hours and this is already arranged. We just recently bought our first house also. My significant other/Dad is on board with this and we are both willing to make the sacrifice until our son gets into school. To be at home 4 days a week to raise my son would mean everything to me!

Right now, I am working Monday-Friday. I despise my current job/organization. I am have been with them for 5 years and have been in my current role as a case management nurse for two years *attempting* to build up a Chronic Care Management Program... that I feel is not going anywhere. I pretty much set my own hours and can work from home, when I want or need. But that is not appealing to me anymore. I would love to basically have my cake and eat it too! Raising my son, so he is not in daycare all week would be a blessing.

The position would be back in the hospital on a rehabilitation (physical medicine) unit. I did get a tour of the unit. I also was floated to the unit when I was a CNA many years ago. They have seasoned staff (25+ years) and the unit is also the hospital's dedicated learning unit, so I would still get the ability to teach CNA/PCT's and maybe eventually other nurses after a while. As I previously mentioned, I am currently in a case management roll building a program that I feel is going no where. There is RARELY hands on patient care as most of it is phone based. We are an FQHC and serve the underinsured, homeless population where many of them cannot get to the clinic due to financial concerns, public transportation and/or do not drive. I am ready to be back in the hospital setting with hands-on patient care.

Pros and Cons? Has anyone worked this shift? It would be 7a-7p.
