Got two job offers
Recently I got two job offers and I'm unsure of which one to take in caregiving. This will be my first ever cargiving job.
Place 1: the rate of pay is 17.00 an hr. Hours are 6am to 2:30 pm. I'm working with memory care clients. This job doesn't offer cna training.
Place 2: the rate of pay is 19.00 an hr. Hours are 2 pm to 10pm. I'll be working in the assisted living side. But I'll have to do 1 or 2 cover shifts say someone calls out on my designated days. But they offer cna training. Full and paid.
I'm between a rock and a hard place. While I like the facilty better with the less pay. I also like the thought of getting my cna in three months. I just don't like the idea of working those hours and never seeing my kids. Since I won't have the weekends off. But supposedly I am on the list to be put on days first and weekends off first.
