How many different jobs have u had since u became a nurse?

Published

People talk about how nursing is so diverse and u can always switch specialty areas ..e.g ED to ICU, Tele to L&D..etc or changed hospitals completely. I just wonder how often people actually do that and what impact it has had in looking for other opportunities? So my question is how many jobs have u had since u became an RN or LPN? Ive been a Nurse for about 5 years and have had three jobs..all different settings and all different specialty areas.

Specializes in Peds Hem, Onc, Med/Surg.

An RN for less than a year and I have 3 different positions: med-surg, peds home health, and bloodless medicine (kind of a clerical RN position.)
