Endoscopy position taken but asked to interview for PACU....thoughts?Rating: (votes: 0) Anyway I finally decided I would give another area a shot...which is big for me because I dont like change and the unknown. I analyze and then reanalzye before i make decisions. So I decided to go for a endoscopy/specialty health position that was posted assuming the hours would be better (basically weekdays occasional short Saturdays and rare to no holidays...umm thats my dream job!!). So I call to talk to the manager of the dept today and it's already filled but she looked me up in the system and saw that i currently worked cardiac imcu and suggested her PACU opening. The shifts are 7-3, 9-5, 10-7, 2-1030, every 3rd-5th sat , 1 day/wk oncall. The only problem is i like 12s so i can be at work less days and im a 0.8 shes offering a 0.6 with the possibility of extra hours. Fellow nurses whats your opinion? Is PACU better than the floor and a less stress? How is it working oncall? What about going to a lower fte with only verbal assurance you can pickup extra hours? Im kind of hesitant to continue pursuing a transfer now that i know my dream job is gone...but i tell myself maybe that wasnt the one for me. I had considered PACU before but thought the scheduling inconsistency and stress level might be just as big a problem for me as the floor is so i never pursued it. I would definitely shadow 1st if I was leaning toward pursuing the transfer but would you first officially interview and shadow before deciding not to pursue the transfer? Thanks all...your replies are appreciated! PACU is a breeze! Take it!! |
