So if you could pick you ideal job, with ideal hours what job would you do?
For me my ideal job would be 3 days a week, 3-1 patient ratio on a tele floor
I would have a pro active, supportive, vision for the future manager
I would earn enough money that I could manage without worrying
I don't mind working the holidays and I would like 6-8 weeks vacation per year
I would have every Sunday off, so I could do family stuff
Oh yeah and all my co-workers wouldn't be moaning, complaining and back stabbing

Using my nursing background but not doing direct patient care.
Doing research or informatics Mon-Fri 7:00-3:30 is my dream nursing job. And working independently and not around a bunch of people would be even better!

I would like to work alone definitely, but a Tele unit with a 1: 3 ratio, or an ICU RATIO OF 1:1 Oooooh!

I wish I knew. Maybe....
something where I can take my daughter to school
and be home in time to go pick her up.
Something a little less stressful than what I have now.

Anything traumatic!! I'm a sucker for blood and gore! Don't care about hours, decent pay would be nice and work with mostly males....I can't stand the ********, cat fights and snarkiness that goes on

My ideal nursing job would involve:
1. Minimal direct patient care - just enough to maintain my skill set.
2. No contact with hostile family members and belligerent visitors.
3. At least three days off per week, preferably in a row.
4. Nothing in acute care - I don't like the high-pressure hospital environment.
5. Only patients who are in stable condition with predictable outcomes.
6. Low levels of stress and enjoyable coworkers.
