Know a Nurse with 2 jobs (or more)?

Yes, nurses wear many hats sometimes all at once. But for those nurses that have other jobs (or know of someone), what is that job and how many hours do you (or they) put in?
Maybe even a fun hobby to past the time and de-stress with.

Curious on how nurses balance their time of nursing with an alternate career, job, or hobby. Thanks for the feedback!
I have not had a second job in more than three years, but prior to that time, I used to work two jobs all the time.My primary job was a weekend double shift gig at a nursing home. It consisted of two 16-hour shifts every Saturday and Sunday. I was paid for 40 hours and received full benefits. My second job was a wild card: sometimes I worked PRN at a psychiatric hospital, sometimes I worked PRN at another nursing home, and other times I accepted a full time 40-hour per week job during the week.

I have not had two jobs as a nurse, but I know many that have. A lot of the nurses I know with two jobs work as a nursing instructor and have a bedside job they do to keep their skills up. I also know a few school nurses that do the same thing. For them, their second job is usually a prn job so they can pick when they want to work.

I have held 2 jobs as a nurse before. I started working per diem at a boarding school when I was still working at the hospital. Then, I left the hospital and worked a part-time home health/case management gig 30 hrs/week while working at the school 16 hrs/week. That got to be too much and I stopped doing the second job when I got a promotion/full time opportunity at my primary job.Many nurses that I work with now work 2 jobs. Some pick up a PDN shift once/week and work full-time elsewhere. I'm not interested in the 2 job thing anymore, too much work, not enough play.

I know a lot of nurses in the reserves or national guard. That is almost another full time job depending on what they do.

I worked with one nurse who held two full time jobs ... She worked 6 twelves every week. Her kids were out of control and she was still in debt in spite of earning over 125K/yr. She felt she couldn't afford to cut back so her life pretty much sucked. It made me sad.

I also work with several nurses who have a full time job in nursing, usually a non-bedside position like teaching or research and then they work a per diem in my unit to keep their skills up to date while earning extra money.I really have not met anyone who has a job outside of nursing as a second job unless you count my unpaid homemaker/stay-at-home mom time as a job.

I had three, I dropped down to two. But I never worked to the point that I was sacrificing the well-being of myself and my family.

I have two jobs. My main job is as a school nurse, so that is M-F. My second job is at a SNF every other weekend. So during the school year I work M-F and then Saturday and Sunday and then M-F again. Then I have weekend off. So, 12 days on, 2 days off. I pick up extra time at the SNF during breaks from the school. I took the school nurse job knowing that it was a massive paycut, but I wanted the schedule to spend time with my kids. I'm a single mom (no child support and nothing the courts can do about it) and the child care in the summer alone would be a killer. Easily, it would be $800/week for 3 kids, full time. It's coming to the end of the school year and I am feeling the affects of my schedule. I'm very much looking forward to more time off in the summer. What's good is that I have my budget based on my school paycheck and working 4 shifts a month at the SNF, so any extra I pick up is play money. The shifts I picked up over spring break will pay for vacation for me and my kids this summer. Or I can pick up a shift to cover unexpected car repairs. While I wish I didn't have a financial need to work two jobs, it is nice to be able to make extra money in that way.

I currently have 3.I work full time (non-nursing position), part time (acute hospital floor) and per diem for a LTC facility.

Quote from RNperdiemI also work with several nurses who have a full time job in nursing, usually a non-bedside position like teaching or research and then they work a per diem in my unit to keep their skills up to date while earning extra money.I really have not met anyone who has a job outside of nursing as a second job unless you count my unpaid homemaker/stay-at-home mom time as a job.

I have always pretty much worked 2 jobs or worked full time and gone to school as a nurse. We cannot afford to live off my full time job alone, but get ok benefits from it so I stay. If I was at home we would be spending waaaaay too much money anyway.

I have worked 2 jobs for about 8 years. My full time job is in a hospital (staff development). My part-time job is for a local university, teaching 1 or 2 courses per year. Most of the time it is stressful and I don't do it for fun (though it has its pleasant moments). I do it to keep my foot in the academic world in case I ever lose my hospital job and need a career alternative. I have this vague idea that I might want to ease into retirement by working part time as a teach for a while before fully retiring.The 2nd job pays VERY little money, but the extra cash has helped me pay for a few luxuries.
