One time many years ago I left bedside for more money and change of schedule. D was like 2.5 my ex and I couldn’t make my 13 hour shifts work anymore . I had an opportunity come to me ( later I realized I was set up to fail) I made it 6 months and cried every day. It was management at a brand new facility that was a mess. I got myself laid off on purpose ( wanted me to sign a non-compete 6 months in and I said no). I was so miserable.
The plus side is this time I know my whole staff. I know my job very very well. My direct micromanaging report has chilled a bit and I think she has a respect for me. I’ll miss being off the floor and interacting with my nurses and doctors and therapists. I’ll really miss the interaction I think. But I would probably mold that position to be more on the floors and less in the office which hasn’t been done before. My goal would also to be to streamline. There are somethings we have been doing the same way for years because that’s how it’s been done. And it’s just extra unnecessary work. I am Younger and fresher which would be helpful. I love am Calm, I chose my battles and I know which hills to die on .
I won’t have to work holidays and weekends. I just don’t know if I am allowed to keep my other per diem job which I would really like to do. The money is middle management more which is probably not a whole lot more, but nonetheless more.
Im Going to apply when the position becomes available. I have nothing to lose. You are all correct
