How long is your commute?

Nurses General Nursing

Call me crazy, but I am considering commuting to my next nursing job! (Still in school here, so I am just day dreaming) I live in NorthWest Florida where nursing jobs are a rare find, not to mention the low pay for Florida nurses. I actually commute now to Houston TX every other week for my flight attendant job. I am thinking about applying to some Level I and II hospitals out there, as a PRN, because I do have the benefits of stand by flying. I hope to work a day, two or three there and fly home. I do not want to move out of my paradise home..! :redbeathe

22 miles-30 minute drive through the mountains of upstate NY on a small two lane winding road going as fast as legally posssible, (well just 15-20 MPH over) in winter possibly 1 hr

I just moved...It was about 20 miles, 30 minutes.

Now my drive is 9 miles...and 30 minutes. :doh:

Job A - 20 min all highway, free parking and lots of it.

Job B - 15 min, city and highway, parking cost your first born

Job C - 5 min in good trafic or 40min to walk in winter as I discovered when my lent someone my car, free parking, just hard to get a spot thats away from the crak hourse

30 miles each way 45-90 minutes each way, depends on traffic

At the moment 20-30 minutes, but as of next month I'll have an hours comute to look forward to :(

20 minutes, used to be ten, but mean people there. I'm Southwest.....thought Florida has lots of seniors...thought lots of jobs....small state?

35 miles. It takes anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on time of day. Seattle traffic can be brutal!! Oh and [b']$15/day for parking!![/b]:down:

Dang!

In good weather, 20 minutes to one job, 45 minutes to the other.

Around 25ish minutes but an easy drive through the country, free parking BUT, 5-10 minutes to find a spot then it takes another 10 minutes to walk from parking to where I need to check in for work and then additional time to get to the floor I'm assigned to. Not complaining though:D.

~ 5-7 mins. plenty of free parking. That is one of the reasons I stay.....other options at least 1-1.5 hrs each way.

Specializes in PACU.

I travel about 30 miles each way. Travel time is usually about 35 minutes or so each way when I work my usual shift. When I end up in the heavier traffic times it can take up to an hour, but thankfully that's not too frequent.

19 miles. 30 minutes... but i leave 40- 45 minutes early...cause of the sick/tardy policy..... cause i aint gonna hang because of failure to accommodate traffic patterns
