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.

Specializes in ortho/neuro/ob/nicu.

28 miles each way, and I pass 4 other hospitals to get there!

13.3 miles, according to Google Maps, and anywhere from 17 to 40 minutes depending on which way I go and how much traffic there is (I have to be at work at 6 on some days and as late as 8 on others).

It's pretty similar to other commutes I've had in the past.

According to mapquest I live 5.5 miles from where I work. It's virtually one straight shot, no traffic, I don't have to go into town, and there is free parking...can't beat it

I work in the downtown area of the city where I reside, and it takes about 20 to 25 minutes to get there if traffic is light or nonexistent. I live approximately 13 miles from my place of employment.

Specializes in neurology, cardiology, ED.

32 miles-it takes me 45-50 minutes, from getting in my car in my driveway, to punching in on my floor. About half of it is highway, that part always takes 20 minutes. The rest is where I can make up or lose time. Lots of lights, and a PIA railroad crossing. The other night I left home at 1812 for my 1900 shift. Ended up getting stuck with a train at the railroad crossing, and then hitting every red light between there and the hospital. Punched in at 1902. But that was my worst commute (on nights) yet.
