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

    Thanks for posting this in English, I tried parsing the German post but I bounced hard off VZ-stelle, which I now realize means vollzeit.

    And no, I would not work more than full time. It’s called full time for a reason.
