I am an RN with 1 year experience. I am the sole provider. I have a connection that was able to get me into a hospice case manager position Monday to Friday 8 to 5 without needing a ton of experience (our area most hospice nurse jobs require 2+ years experience). The position is offering $85,000 salary starting. The only thing I am concerned about is the benefits are pretty expensive. 889 for health, plus an additional 70 for dental/vision for family health coverage. So about $959 a paycheck.

My current job has great benefits, around 450 a paycheck. I make $39/hr. The issue though is since I am an RN, I am paid hourly and sometimes I will only be on the schedule for and paid for 65 to 72 hrs a paycheck. So sometimes my paychecks are (After taxes and insurance) 2100 and sometimes 2300. Yes, I could pick up an extra shift but another reason I am considering the case management job is I have a terrible back that makes my current very physical job extremely hard. So my quality of life will be better in the case management position.

My in-laws have suggested looking into plans through healthcare.gov but I’m not sure if it will be that much cheaper, but I don’t know. We are a family of 6.

Thank you!
