My husband took a job that payed him a little less, but he loved a lot more. Sometimes life is about more then that almighty dollar. After he took the job, he felt more relaxed he, came home happier, and his health improved a lot. I don't know you OP but you may notice your Heath improves or you have more energy to do other things you love and I think that is way more important than a few extra dollars on your paycheck. Best of luck.
Whenever you feel like you hate your job, look at your life in perspective and all the great things and experiences you've had. I promise that 99% of everyone on these forums has a very good life compared to the population of the world.
Money is indeed important. It's not the most important thing, but I've known people who take the "fun" job with less money and end up in less than ideal circumstances.
Just my opinion. I'd always go for the max money out there. If i don't like my job, I'll get another one, but only if it is comparable in salary or more.
Well I hate my job because it is very hard word...It is physically, emotionally, mentally, psychologically demanding.I have care for many residents, --many of them may be totally dependent. .
It requires a lot of heavy lifting, many residents are combative so you will have to deal with getting beat, bit, spit on etc...Sometimes we get called names it's the most hardest physical job I have EVER done.It is too stressful
Yes. One time I quit a job I hated (boss was as crooked as they come and I hated the office environment) and took a new job that paid less. It was well worth it in the long run.

Agreed
My job is in huge demand anyway in central London so I can pretty much pic and choose
But Id much rather earn a bit less and have a great work environment ( mainly the people I work with )
Can't put a price on peace and tranquility in the workplace
OP, sounds like you are a CNA in a nursing home where there is usually a staff shortage as well.
Maybe consider working in home health care or a hospital with your credentials. Better pay and working conditions overall.

I have been and R.N. for 38 years and did CNA work in a nursing home while in nursing school and I agree it is very difficult work. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water because as a CNA there are other less stressful environments you can work in especially if you attempt to seek CNA work outside of long term care such as in an acute care hospital or an outpatient primary care or urgent care walk-in clinic. The CNAs that work in my primary care clinic do minimal hands on patient care, and the bulk of their responsibilities involves patient screening prior to patients having their physical exams. Lots of opportunities for CNAs outside of nursing homes but you have to go look for them. Good luck.
