would you recommend to work 2 to 4 weekend days per month to earn a bit of extra money if you already have a full time position? (linux.community)

I'm a German nurse interviewing for 9 to 5 office jobs.

If I get one of these jobs, I wanted not to completely leave nursing: my system pays better than other local hospitals and I don't want my experience to go to waste. I wanted to work 2 to 4 weekend days per month, only second shift (shift starts at 12:30 and ends at 21:30), 'cause this is considered the easy shift and I want the extra money, but if I don't like it, I can always change units or just work my office job.

I'm curious to hear answers from both sides of the Atlantic

It really depends on how much you can tolerate. I don't know if full time is 40 hours in Germany like it is in the US.

If you have an option to try it for some time and fall back to plan B, why not do that? Then you can tell if the money is worth the extra work time.
