I'm feeling a little conflicted right now. I truly enjoy going to work and love my unit, but I'm struggling to make ends meet. I find it depressing to consider leaving, but I also can't ignore my financial situation. Has anyone here quit a job they truly loved for a higher salary? Was it the right decision, or did you regret it?

I’m glad that you enjoy going to work and love your unit. If you’re struggling to make ends meet, do they offer incentives for picking up extra shifts or can you move up like become a charge nurse or manager? I worked as a travel nurse before and the rates are not as high anymore but they’re still higher than staff. The insurance could be crap though. Lastly you can end up with a not so desirable schedule. I’ve quit a job but I don’t think I truly loved it which made it easier. Not for a higher salary either, I just had to move. It’s the right decision in terms of money.

This would depend on whether I’m struggling because I’m underpaid, or because of lifestyle creep that has outrun my salary. I’d be less regretful if I were underpaid. Doesn’t matter how great the place is. That can change quickly.

If you have an offer for a position with a higher salary, move on. It's nice to enjoy your colleagues, but if you're not being paid adequately that's a major problem. You don't owe it to people to work at a discount price.

You have to do what’s best for you and that’s just it. You have to be selfish and do what’s best for you. It’s not easy out here nowadays.
