My Boss Wanted Me Back

Hi WA family! Since I value most of your input I would like to run this by you or let's just say I am asking for advice. I have asked my family and a friend but I just want to know what most of you will have to say.

For all of you who has been in my network, you all know that I quit my job as a nurse as I got burnt out with the politics of healthcare. I also decided that it is time to spend more time with my kids as I mostly missed my 2 older kids growing up years as I was working so hard at that time.

I have 2 more younger daughters and they are entering the teenage years. I don't want to be absent again,as you all know, some nursing position has long hours and it's highly stressful in which days off are just spent recuperating from being worn out and then it's time to go back to work again.

Yesterday, my ex boss called me and asked if I can come back to work part-time as she needs me badly. Mind you, where I work is an hour away from me and the traffic driving to work gets really heavy which is an added stress. Parking is remote so we either had to take the bus or a train to get to our building which is an added 10-15 minutes. There's a nearby parking but it costs $13.00 a day.

I couldn't say no right away because of some reasons. I love some people that I used to work with, I miss my paycheck and I miss helping patients. But every time I think about the long hallway, the long commute and the sight of those people's faces that make things difficult to work..it gives me anxiety!

So, drop by and throw in some advice or two. Give me some wisdom as I am in a state of blurriness right now. Thank you folks!!
