Hi all! I’m not sure what to do. I have a Bachelors of Arts in English and I wish I pursued nursing but at the time I didn’t realize my passion for the field. I have worked front desk in hospitals and doctors office and met lots of health professionals and I want to be a nurse. The only thing is that my application isn’t competitive enough at community colleges and I don’t have the funds to enroll in private schools or for profit schools. I am still paying my loans on my bachelors and have other bills. That’s another stressor is that I can’t be unemployed for too long, so I was considering doing a LPN certificate program to at least get a job and then doing a bridge program. Has anyone done this before? I’m located on Long Island, outside of NYC. I understand most hospital systems hire BSN and would prefer that. But I think this might be the best option financially for me so I can start working sooner and not have any debt. Thanks for any insight!

Hi everyone,

I was recently offered a job at a company I actually really like—good role, seems like a solid environment, etc. The only thing I’m a little unsure about is their work-from-home setup.

From what I understand, after COVID they originally split people into two groups (like A/B days), and at first it was based on seniority—some people had more in-office days than others. But eventually they switched to a rotating schedule to make it “fair,” so now teams alternate days.

So basically, one week you might have Monday/Wednesday/Friday from home, and the next week it switches and you’re home on Tuesday/Thursday instead.

I get the intention behind it, but I’m a little worried about how that would feel in practice. I feel like I do better with consistency and routine, and this seems like it could be kind of disruptive or hard to plan around.

Does anyone here work a schedule like this? How is it long-term? Do you get used to it, or does it always feel kind of chaotic?

Would love to hear any experiences—good or bad.
