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
As an American usually that means they’re swamped and need the extra labor but aren’t willing to pay for another employee. Germany might be different in general but it could also depend on the company.
