Am I a rarity?

[dreamingofbeing]

I currently work per diem for a hospital system where I work at both a pediatric hospital and all the adult hospitals within the system. I am a radiology nurse by the way. I love that I work with both adults and peds although I do love peds a bit more. Every nurse in the adult world tells me that they could never work peds and every peds nurse tells me they could never work with adults. My boss told me the other day that I am a very rare exception that will work both worlds with no complaints. The only bad thing is that it may keep me from getting a permanent position in the pediatric hospital since they desperately want to keep me floating in all the worlds. Am I really that unusual?

Well, you are extremely flexible.

However.. if you realize you are not getting the position you really want ... because the system is manipulating you.. that also makes you usable.
