Where do you nurse?

POPRN · May 4, 2003

well Win...usually in the OR you get weekends and holidays off unless you are on call that weekend. some places pay more for OR nurses, especially if you have a speciality like Open Hearts. I like the OR. you lose floor nursing skills. but you gain other skills.

we have many openings in the OR at childrens, we just opened a new heart center, and many OR nurses went there. I don't mind loosing the floor experience, but does it get boring just standing for hours at a time?

I work in a community non-profit blood center. I am the Donor Services Director. My staff work the blood drives and the donor rooms. I have been in this field for 15 years and I truly enjoy it. Unfortunately, you never see or hear anyone else discussing this field. In fact, when I am asked my speciality, I don't know how to reply. Anybody out there do the same thing I do? Would love to hear from you!

Evenings on a med-surg/tele in NJ. I love my evenings. A 7am start to the day does not exist in my universe :)

I am really lucky. I work Monday thru Friday at a Psychiatric Outpatient Treatment Facility. There are 5 RN's and each of us are assigned to a different doctor. It is really cool and I love psych nursing. Besides, how often can nurses find a Mon-Fri 8am-5pm job!!
