My friend (RN, 8 yrs exp) in Midwest ICU is burned out but has great stability: union job, pension vesting soon, solid team.
She has a new offer: same role, +18% pay, better differentials, $15k sign-on but the downsides are non-union (recent layoffs elsewhere), + 2hr daily commute.
She’s single, decent savings, but torn whether to jump for money or stay for security?

Nurses: would you take the risk or play it safe? Any regrets either way?

It would come down to what is causing that burnout. Without knowing that, I’d worry I’m going to be back in the same situation soon. The commute and non-union wouldn’t be worth it to me, but I’m also not facing burnout at my current job, either.

Right, I would also say it’s an active conversation we should consistently have with ourselves. What can we change, and what can’t we, when burnout starts to creep in?
