Find a new job that's better than my current job

Last night was my last night as a unit secretary and tomorrow is my first official day as an EMT (although I’ve been working one day a week as an EMT for the past month). Today is a great day.

It’s really not “crappy” exactly, except for some of the people I work with. This one nurse thinks she knows more than anyone and is always in a pissy mood. I work night shift (11-7), which no one else wants to work. The guy that worked on the nights I’m off quit and since then they act like I should work every night. They complain about having work around my school schedule (which was a condition of me accepting the job in the first place nearly two years ago) and seem to think that I’m superhuman and require no sleep. They want me to either work the night before class or work the night after class. Did I mention that class lasts from 8-3pm and 6-10pm two days a week? Plus I feel basically useless. I’m a floor secretary (ward clerk, whatever you want to call it) in a hospital. When I’m done with my work (filing papers, copying orders whenever we get an admission), I study. They don’t like that either. I’m counting the days until I finish EMT school and can transfer to the EMS department.

The real problem here is the hours, I am on the night shift, which I hate, some people understand, and some think I am crazy, but I would rather work 8-4, 9-5, 10-6 than 2-10 my evenings are not my own. I would stay at this job for much longer than I plan to if my hours were earlier.

I applied at three places today. I’m ready to quit working at the mall!

more job satifaction and more money please

my job is ok I am ok with it right now, probably not for more than a year or so though.

I recently changed jobs. I have been here for 4 months. I know what I like to do and what I do well, this job does incorporate some of that, and it is stable – both good things. But I think I can do better. It will take a while though, maybe another year or two to find a job I like, but this time I won’t just fly out of one into another, I will move with purpose.
