Cruise SHip RN?

[skinc1]

Does anyone know anything about being a nurse on a cruise ship? The Pay? The Hours? The Living? Is it really not as great as I think it might be? What kind of patients would we see, what procedures do we do, stuff like that.:onbch:

I have applied to a few different cruise lines and one cruise line agency. I am a travel nurse currently and have been interested in cruise ship nursing since I took my first cruise vacation 5 years ago. I am married and would have to leave my hubby and the doggies at home So I would miss them horribly but want to have this experience. Does anyone know if family can come and stay with you on the cruise (not the entire time but just to visit) ?

Generally family can cruise for a very discounted rate (like $30/week) on a space available basis.....but no, they generally can't just live with you onboard.
