How many miles/minutes do you drive to work?

Published

The title says it all! How many miles are you from work, and how long does it take you to drive there?

I work 4 miles from my home, which is about 10 mins or so through downtown, and 11 stoplights, so sometimes longer than 10 mins. I just happen to live near a large hospital. i would not be opposed to driving for a good job, and am actually considering a job that is a 45 minute drive from here.

23 mins bout 14 miles

20 minutes. I travel in opposite directions of rush hour traffic; gotta love it. I get giddy knowing that I'm doing 75mph and the people on the other side are doing 15mph.

7miles, but it takes me 25-30mins, a lot of traffic lights, two school zones and residential area on the way

Specializes in Telemetry/PCU.

I work 47 miles from home, takes about 55 minutes. The company I work for has built a hospital 5 minutes from my house but they have put off opening it. Wish they would hurry up already!

Specializes in PCU, Tele, ICU.

1hr 35 min/104 miles. The commute is killing me but I need the experience so I'll stake it out for a year or 2...

I walk actually. I have the blessing/curse of living 4 doors down from the facility I work at.

You're so lucky! I live 23 miles/33 minutes away from work, all county roads until last 2 miles!

Specializes in General adult inpatient psychiatry.

9.5 miles according to GoogleMaps, and anywhere between 20 and 30 minutes depending on traffic and school children (during the week, my exit onto the highway intersects with a high school's crosswalk!). I live in an area saturated by hospitals and while it's not the closest one, it offered me a job and I like it there.

I'll echo others and say it's way closer than clinical sites ever were for me. :D

Specializes in HOME HEALTH.

i live about 35/36 miles from work. it takes me about 30-40 minutes to get there. i live in a very rural area so other than the small clinic about 15-20 minutes away that's about as good as i'm going to get. of course i work home health and have to drive 50-75 miles (average) after i get to work, but i don't suppose that counts:d.

15-20 min of rural driving.

My first job right out of nursing school was an hour and a half of highway (65+mph) driving.

Specializes in ccu cardiovascular.

40 minutes each way. It's getting old and thinking going for lesser pay and less miles to drive.
