Cruise Ship Nurse

[JaHiRn]

Has anybody ever worked as a nurse for a cruise line?? How was it? I am seriously considering doing this and would like feedback from some one who has done this.

I think that the pay and schedule are lousy. WAAAYY too much on call time and you do often have to stay on the ship in port to take care of the whinies who chose to stay onboard. I don't know what line someone else was on but the majority of the crew on my carnival ship didnt even speak english. Furthermore the cabins are tiny and because you can't mix in guest areas you get bored and your days tend to run together. My 2 cents.
