[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom also did it for the scheduling. She was low person on the totem pole but took a lot of night shifts which worked because she’s be home for us before and after school which is what she wanted—the night shifts were generally less sought after.  In particular it worked because my retired grandmother was available to step in whenever her shift didn’t line up well with my dads schedule.  You’d need flexible coverage for when you don’t get the shifts you want.  My mom used to try to get the coma patients—again less desirable for many nurses but no doctors yelling at you.  She hated OR and ER work the most.[/quote]

I knew a family where the dad had a day job and the mom was a nurse who worked nights. They actually had an au pair who handled mornings (wake up the kids, get them ready, and take them to school) but usually the mom was able to pick up the kids from school and eat dinner with them, and the dad was able to handle bedtime. But they also had the au pair for backup in case. [/quote]
