A large case management company-it has jobs in hopsitals and the community. They have many scheduling options. Some work M-F 0830-1630. The job I would have is Tues and Wed 1300-2100 and every other weekend 1000-1800. Which I dont mind while the kids are this age and in the future I could change easily. I always would work the same days. Again, there are a variety of set schedules which I could in the FUTURE choose.
It's mostly computer work and no hands on care-which I am OK with. I would need after school care for 2 days a week only.
JOB B OR Nurse
In a hospital-all surgeries are out pt surgeries. The shifts are 0730-1530 or 0800-1600 but the days are different all the time-for example it could be Mon Wed Fri or Wed Thurs Fri. The schedule does not repeat. They put you in when they need you. No weekends. No holidays, March break off, 2 wks at Christmas off and 2 weeks off in summer (not paid though as I am part time).
Working closely with docs-which can be good or bad. This job would require my kids to attend an after school anf before school program on all days I work.
Both are the same distance away. Pay is pretty similar. Both are 3 days per week.
