What to do?
Ladies,
I need some advice. One of my oldest friends runs a physician's office and they have 2 openings for a nurse case manager. She submitted my resume because she felt that I would be really good at the job. The pay is the same as what I make now, but it benefits are much, much better. I have an interview scheduled for Tuesday morning. It's a 8-4:30 M-F position, no nights, no holidays, no weekends.
Sounds great and all, but I have to admit I like the job where I am at now. However, I do a lot of lifting and the client I am with beats the crap out of me. I came home 3 days this week with bite marks and new bruises. H is not happy about the abuse I take. The other client that I have is an absolute sweetheart. I am worried that if we do get pregnant that I would be putting myself at risk working with the kiddo that I am with most of the time. I don't know if I should approach the office and tell them I like working for them but I feel that I need a new case because I cannot continue to be abused by this 9 year old little booger or if I should take this new job if it's offered to me. What are your thoughts?
Re: What to do?
Soo a 9-4:30pm/regular working hours job, no nights, no weekends, better benefits, and no beatings?
Sounds like a no brainer to me. Even if you do talk to your current job and they switch you to a different case, who is to say they won't eventually switch you to another abusive client? You must have the patience of a saint, though - if a 9 year old starting hitting me, I'd probably grab a stick and start hitting him back (mental problems or not!). Not to mention if you can't switch, 9 year olds only get old/bigger/stronger.
So yeah, if they offer you the new job - I'd take it! You'll need all the energy you can save if you do end up having a baby =]
I agree, take the new job! Even if you like your current job, I think the benefits out weigh the beatings you get. Like pp said, you could approach the office and request a new client, but who's to say that it will be any different? I'd take the new opportunity. PLUS...no nights, no weekend, and no holidays? I'd take that in a heartbeat.
Good luck!
The new job sounds great for you. You wouldn't even have to explain to the kid that you are leaving them bc you can't take their abuse anymore (which would essentially have to be your conversation if you asked for a client switch). You have an easy way out now: I got a new job doing something a little bit different, sweetie.
Now what are the cons to this potential new job?
It's hard to decide between a job you love and something that looks better on paper. Sure it's M-F with no nights and/or weekends, but if you don't love your job, what's the point? I would still interview and see how you felt with the staff at the clinic and try to get an over all feel for the place and then talk it over with your husband and pray about it (if you're into that sort of thing) before making your decision.
Good luck with this, I'll be thinking about you.
