CRUISE SHIP NURSING

[ladymedik]

Does anyone have any info/experience with nursing positions on a cruise ship? I've been on many cruises as a vacation and would love to get paid to do this.

Thanks!!!!

my old study buddy and i were interested about cruise ship nursing. we read articles online, asked around and found requirements. years of er and icu/trauma experience is required along with an acls/ccrn/pals certification. most ships hire experienced rn's with advanced degrees. i was told most time is spent in the cruise. room/board/meals are covered. you're oncall when not working. i don't know about hubby.

here's a thread from here that would be helpful for some of your questions:
