I’m a German nurse interviewing for 9 to 5 office jobs.

If I get one of these jobs, I wanted not to completely leave nursing: my system pays better than other local hospitals and I don’t want my experience to go to waste. I wanted to work 2 to 4 weekend days per month, only second shift (shift starts at 12:30 and ends at 21:30), 'cause this is considered the easy shift and I want the extra money, but if I don’t like it, I can always change units or just work my office job.

I’m curious to hear answers from both sides of the Atlantic

    I’m with you, but for many young people these days it’s almost not an option. But I’m also in Canada so…

      a nurse in germany earns a living wage. You won’t get rich, but you can live comfortably (if you don’t plan to have a family).
