How far do you travel to get to work?

Specializes in Rural Health.

72 miles, but 55 of them are freeway miles

Takes me exactly 1 hour, 5 mins. from my driveway to the time clock.

Wished I lived closer but the absolute closest hospital to me is 30 mins. away and it's a 6 bed M/S unit. Next biggest hospital is 45 mins. away and in another state.......

So for me....it's all about driving......

Specializes in Geriatrics and emergency medicine.

I used to work for an agency. Had to drive an average of 110 miles a day roundtrip. Took me 1 1/4 hours, then add another 20 minutes to find a place to park, which was out on the street. Just recently resigned from agency and am now workiing 7 mile from home. Not only did the job change cut back on gas/wear and tear, but I can leave at the end of Young and the Restless and get there before Dr Phil starts.

Specializes in LTAC, Homehealth, Hospice Case Manager.

17 miles one way. It's a straight shot & the worst traffic is always going the other way. Not a bad drive at all.

I'm about 15 miles away. There are three 7-minute red lights on the way and numerous regular lights. If I catch all the lights, takes me about 35 minutes to get door to door. If I get all the greens, I'm door to door in 23 minutes flat.
