Nurses and healthcare professionals: Which job would you take?
I currently work as an RN in a busy ER where our budget gets smaller, our supplies run out more often and job cuts/benefit cuts are happening more frequently. I do only work 12 hour shifts 3 days a week (nightshift) though and it's a field I'm comfortable in.
I got a job offer as a legal nurse consulting with physicians and lawyers about various tests, procedures etc. The pay is 10-15k more a year and it's a Monday-Friday job with the opportunity to work from home part of the week. It's more predictable and the stability is better and the benefits are better, it's just a new endeavor and one that I'll have to learn.
We would also like to start a family, which is kind of hard working nights that my husband is home and I'm not.
What would you do?

You want and need the extra money. You're a bit afraid of taking on something new, but you like the better benefits, the regular hours and the chance to work from home. You're worried about the cuts at your current job, too.
Try the new job. It sounds great. There isn't too much risk, because if you don't like it or it doesn't work out, there are plenty of hospitals that need ER nurses. Plus, if you ever do return to ER nursing, you will do so at the current market rate of pay, which will be higher than what you're making now.
