I graduated from a 2nd degree BSN program last Auguse and have spent a year in oncology, med/surg.

I am SICK of the the 12 hour days, night/evening rotations and taking care of so many acutely ill patients due to understaffing.

I'm thinking about applying to several GI private practices that also have Endo Centers.

Can you tell me about what it's like to be a nurse in a private GI office?
What about working in the Endo Center?

Any info & advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Pay is usually bad. I make $13.oo per hour less at the endo unit than I do working GI at the hospital.
