What's a Girl To Do?

So I talked to the director of nursing at CFC today, and he offered me a pretty good wage to work there full-time. So I made up my mind to take the job and called my current boss to let her know I was leaving. I was nervous about calling her because I didn't want to break the news that their only nurse would be leaving, and in two weeks. So when I talked to her she asked me if there was any way I would stay if they paid me more, let me work different hours, etc. Basically she pulled out all the stops to try to persuade me to stay, but was also understanding if there was nothing she could do to get me to stay. So it really makes my decision difficult. Now I'm playing the waiting game again to see if ARTEC can match CFC's wage, and I'm feeling pretty lucky. I'm trying to weigh the pro's and con's of both jobs and decide what I would do if the pay and hours were equivalent. I'm leaning toward ARTEC since it's a job I know I like, and CFC is a little more of an unknown. Even though I work there part-time, it's only on the weekends when everything runs at a more leisurely pace. Don't tell anyone, but sometimes I even get a little Spider Solitaire in while I'm there. :) But last Saturday I even did the graveyard nurse's chart checks since there was nothing to do, so I think that deserves a little card playing.

So it's a little stressful, since I'm supposed to tell CFC by tomorrow. And either way, I hate to tell someone no. I leave either facility short on a nurse since I don't think CFC has anyone else to offer the full-time job to. But I guess I can't work everywhere and I sure can't please everyone. Hopefully CFC can find someone quickly if I don't take the job. It's a good kind of stress to have, but still quite a big decision to make. It was nice today to feel like the decision was made, but then my boss showed how much she really wants me to stay and made the decision tougher. Either way, I guess I'll have the final decision made within a few days, and I can't wait. I know I'm just rambling, but obviously I'm a little preoccupied with this whole issue! Well, I gotta get to bed since I'm working a 6-hour shift tomorrow morning at CFC. It is the 4th of July, but I'll be done by noon and the holiday pay never hurts!
