Commute

[ERRN324]

How far would you commute for your dream job? I am interviewing for a job that would work two 24 hour shifts per week (its a fixed wing flight job). My commute would be 219 miles or about 3 hours into Houston. Anyone do anything like this? Think this is doable?

I think it's doable. Flight nurse jobs not something you can get anywhere. It sounds like they provide sleeping quarters in between cases.

We have a doctor who lives 3 or 4 hours away, and comes down does his shifts, then goes home. At my previous place of employment we had more than one nurse drive from Idaho, do shifts, and go home after their stint. They come for higher wages and maybe because they got sick of the little local hospitals where they used to work.

I say, go for it!!!!
