[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RN here. 3 days or nights a week, actually prefer nights as home when kids get home, and pay is better. Off 4 days week, easy to take vacation if stagger schedule (self-schedule). And it is never a boring day at the office (like my previous before kids job). BSN required, next goal MSN to teach new RNs. [/quote]

Not going to lie, I'm a bit jealous of that schedule!  Can you tell me what the pay is like (in general).[/quote]

Not PP but also an RN.  Went to nursing school when my youngest was in kindergarten---did an accelerated 15 month BSN program (had a previous degree/career in different field).  Have now been an RN for 3 years and am making $40/hr working three 8-hour shifts per week (days)--no nights, weekends, or holidays.  It's been a *tough* journey but I don't regret it and I feel like I've finally found the right work/family balance.  It's not easy to get a schedule like this right away---you have to pay your dues in the beginning.  Nursing school and full-time night shift as a new grad took a tremendous toll on me and my family.
