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 depends...

Am I always tired and exhausted from my full time job? If so the weekend shift had to be like walk in a park - happy people, good colleagues, good pay, no bullshit. If it's another exhausting job, then hell no. Maybe for a short period of time to get extra cash if that's really needed.
Is my full time job really easy on nerves and I'm coming home relaxed and in good mood all the time? Why not keep in touch with medical field to stay relevant there?

Edit: also depends on other factors, like family, children, etc. Having a child, you'd have to be really desperate to get another job instead of taking care of the kid.
