ER Nurse's who like to fish/hunt & enjoy the Outdoors

by MacERRN

Greetings all: Interesting reading all these threads indicating our problems are not isolated to certain regions, but rather a national problem with poor staffing, over crowed ER's with non-emergant pts, being lead by incompentent managers, and low saleries.

Just wondering if we have other things in common, like fresh water fishing, or enjoying the outdoors, ie.,camping, hunting? Several of us are trying to get together this spring and fish after work. It's better than hitting the taverns, or strip clubs, as far as debriefing after a nasty shift. Post what you like to do as far as outdoor leisure. Maybe we can do some swap fishing trips, hunting trips, etc.

My wife and I love to spend time outdoors. We hike, rock climb, rappel, camp, and I try to go on at least one hunt a year. My parents are big into fly fishing; however, I am not much of an angler. Did a couple of winter float trips in Montana years back as a nursing student and had quite a bit of fun.

Spent some time hunting in Arkansas last year with another ER RN friend. We hunted white-tail in Wyoming the year before that. At some point, we want to do a hunting trip in Alberta.

i'm just a student right now, but on off time i do mountain biking, rockclimbing, rappeling, and paintball. last time i went sportfishing... ugh. i love bass fishing though.

i'm trying to find people to do long hikes with, and i'm also trying to get into hunting eventually, but i don't know the first thing about it.

My family & I love to camp,boat, fish etc. our last wonderful trip was to the Blue Ridge Mtns on the Georgia border. This is a wonderful way for my husband(a fireman/emt) to chill out and enjoy ourselves & family. Also Tennessee has some very nice areas to go & unwind.

Hello all
I am currently finishing my LPN program, done 6-20. Then NCLEX and start ADN 7 -14. I love to hunt and fish here in Kansas or anywhere in mid west. My Last season was one day hunting a local farm for upland I got limits on pheasant quail and ducks, I was happy to cram my season in to one day with those kind of results. I was hunting with a classmate's husband another perk of Nursing school. My wife and I fish Lake Texhoma. My inlaws have a house and FIL has a boat and lots of guide friends. School gets in the way of out door hobbies for now. I did get 2 days on spring break to Estes Park CO. Fly fishing for local trout. Better get to more drug cards for next weeks L&D clinical.
Mike
