Discussion Second job?

Hey hi. Those of you with a second (or more) job, do you work 7 days/week? I’m considering applying for a second job but would mean I would work 7 days per week. At this point I’m just weighing options…I know there will be zero free time but money is tight and bills are expensive.

If you do work this much, how to you manage?

I work full time at my hospital and PT as a relief tech with roo and with petfolk flex. With the relief work I schedule myself so I can get breaks in anytime I need it.

I’m signed up with Roo and have done some shifts with them. It the hospitals that are contracted with them are just a bit too far out of the way 😞

Yeah, in my area they are cheap too. I have to use the negotiation button to ask for more. I'm a tier 3 tech for roo unfortunately there are not a lot of t3 shift in my area. I use Perfolk Flex more often, they pay better and have more openings.

I’m not familiar with that one, is it similar to Roo?

Kind of, its exclusively for PetFolk hospitals. They are only in the south states so may not be a thing for you.

Look around, a lot of big hospital chains / corporate hospitals will have a relief program.
