Hi
I know the decision is ultimately mine to make but I need some opinions, I'm so undecided
I've been an RN for many years and currently work in a doctor owned same day surgery center
My hours are Mon thru Friday no weekends, holidays and latest I work is 7pm a couple times a month , Nursing wise that's pretty darn sweet
Its 25 min from my house.
Pay is horrible, benefits retirement horrible
Doctor owned so all about profit
I was offered a job in a same day surgery unit at a huge teaching hospital in the next state.
Commute is a little over an hour, all highway
Pay is SIGNIFICANTLY more. Better benefits and retirement
The unit has longer hours even though it's considered same day.
I could start as early as 530am and work as late as 830pm , start times are staggered , 12 hour shifts
So instead of five , eight hour shifts, I currently do now, I would work three, twelve hour shifts
I'd have to work 1 winter holiday and 1 summer holiday and take call one weekend day every other month to cover the main OR recovery room.
Like i said pay is SIGNIFICANTLY more and no way will my current job ever come close to this wage
I'd have to apply for a new RN license which is $$ and time to get things notarized and fingerprinted
i like the longer shifts less days but I'm afraid I'll get stuck working every friday even though i was told 2 a month and the busy hospital atmosphere isnt something I've experienced in a long while, plus the call, and holidays
The money would be great . We have a son currently in college and one soon to start
My husband is ok with what I decide , but I cant decide what to do.
