Yep, I did agency nursing for two years. I covered hospitals, nursing homes, skilled care units, hospices, home health, etc... I once covered a small county hospital and was the only nurse in the building, I had 3 on med surg, 1 in OB, a baby in the nursery and had to cover the ER with no provider in house. It was interesting. Oh, and not only did they not have a pharmacy at night, they didn't have a pharmacy. The pharmacy was a room off of med surg full of bottles of your pills, you had mix and make everything yourself. Strangely enough, I enjoyed it. lol
