A bedside nurse with over 25 years experience struggles with physical pain from 12-hour shifts and must transition to a clinic schedule but fears losing the 4-day weekend, reduced pay, and inability to manage life effectively on a 5-day workweek.

No tool exists to help nurses realistically compare the physical, financial, and lifestyle trade-offs between bedside and clinic roles, or to plan a phased transition.
