hi all! i have a bit of a dilemma and would love to hear some opinions. i'm currently interviewing for hospital PCT jobs, including a job at a local children's hospital that has an amazing reputation regionally. my other interviews/offers have been with rehab hospitals, nursing homes, or another hospital system in the area. i feel most excited about working at the children's hospital due to its reputation for being a leader in pediatric care, as well as its great culture among employees.
the children's hospital is pretty difficult to get into and open roles are sparse. the only full-time opening right now is on nights. i'm concerned about taking classes and doing research during the day while working nights (7p-7a) and being able to maintain my GPA. i'm currently at a 4.0 for my prereqs and would like to maintain my academic performance as much as possible.
if it matters, i'll be completing chem 2 during the summer semester, orgo and physics 2 during the upcoming fall semester. i know orgo is a challenging pre-req and don't want to endanger my performance in the course if working nights will affect my ability to focus. i only need to be on campus twice a week and can probably request to not work on nights right before my classes.
has anyone experienced working nights while in school? would it be more prudent to go with another dayshift job, even if its not at as prestigious of an institution?
