Working opposite shifts from spouse...

[sbostonRN]

I had a great interview for a position that would be a fantastic opportunity for me. The environment seems really supportive and it would be much more challenging than my current job. The interview went great and I would honestly be surprised if I didn't get the position. However, one bad thing about the job is that it's evening shift and DH and I currently work days. I know people work opposite shifts for a variety of reasons, but DH is really hesitant about this opportunity. Of course I would prefer to work days but I see it as a major stepping stone in my career - room for growth, and an acute hospital environment, which is what I've wanted all along. Full-time day shifts are hard to come by because they are usually filled by internal hires, so I know that it's something I may be able to get further down the road.

Would you voluntarily work a different shift from your spouse (assume for the purposes of this question that you don't have kids and you're not doing this for child care purposes)?

You know what? I am a very busy person....however I feel compelled to point out that based upon your comment it is obvious that you could not bother to click on the links that I provided.

These articles reference several peer reviewed studies.

As I have said before, if I said water was wet you would friggen argue with me...

Now if you will excuse me I am going to go back to being productive.

You are thinking of someone else. We have seldom interacted here.

I did click on the articles.
