Some roles are offering better schedules but less exposure to complex cases, others are the opposite. Trying to figure out what actually matters more early on. Do you prioritize learning or lifestyle first?

Lifestyle at this point in my career. I've learned enough and did my time working 50+ hour weeks. I've really taken my foot off the gas the past few years and have zero regrets.

While I think it's important to learn as much as you can in the beginning of your career, lifestyle is just as important Balance is key. Many of us nurses love to learn but you shouldn't sacrifice your lifestyle or health to pursue it. I prioritized learning for years and wound up in an unhealthy lifestyle. Little to no breaks, unrestful sleep, doing more than what was asked, picked up extra shifts to help out, prioritized patients and staff over myself. I became burnout and completely fried my nervous system. Stuck in survival mode and now have been out of work for 6 months because it's affecting my body physically to the point where I can't safely do my job. Finding balance between both worlds is difficult but not impossible. Wishing you all the best!!

I just accepted an offer in writing. The new job will start the background check next which I’ve been told it may take a while to complete. My start date at the new job isn’t until 2023 so there is some time for me to turn in my notice. I don’t anticipate any hiccups in the background check but is it wise to wait until the background check is complete before turning in my notice?
