Are weekend program roles in hospitals really worth the higher pay long term? Mine would add about 25k a year but means locking into permanent weekends. Financially it’s compelling, lifestyle-wise less so. Would love to hear from nurses who did it.

Ugh, I wish I got that kind of pay for working weekends. I don't work them exclusively, but I do have to do at least 3 weekend days per month here. Since I'm already committed to doing that, I'd for sure add a few days to lock in all that money.

The money sounds good, but it all depends on the circumstances of one's life. If you've got kids, having no weekends off is a real problem. If you're younger and don't have a family, trading flexibility for cash is always a nice option.

That’s a big decision! The extra cash is tempting, but weekends can be tough. Balancing money and lifestyle is tricky!

I am currently a civil engineer thinking of switching to software engineering.

What would be the best way to go about it (coding bootcamp, another degree, something else)?
