Cruise ship nursing

Published

Just trying to gather some general information about cruise ship nursing.

What cruise line? How long were assignments? Salary compensation? Crew relations? Destinations? What was your experience prior to cruise position? Would you do it again? Why or whynot?

Thanks for any and all responses!!!

All of the cruise ships that I've sailed on either as a crewmember or guest in the past 5 years either had an internet lounge or wireless connections in certain areas. However, it is more expensive than on land. You usually have to buy some type of internet card or internet plan. On the other hand, a lot of the ports the cruises visit have cheaper internet cafes or coffee shops w/wi-fi.

Look up each cruise company's website for specific instructions. This is the company that hires for Disney and Crystal:

Dang. I never even thought about taking along my ole lady. Sign me up.

Of course, I better get that RN first. I've been a medic, but I never flew in a whirly bird like LZ did.
