Are you ready for Halloween? Do you have a costume to wear?

If you had to choose a costume what would it be and why?

Happy Halloween!

I know some Public health Nurses that have the perfect schedule, and make 40k. They say they are very happy.

I guess the husband is in a solid 150k job, or there is a family inheritance.

Actually there are many areas of nursing with 9-5 jobs:

School nurses, home health for the most part is 9-5, public health, clinic nurses, nurses that work for the state surveying nursing homes and home health agencies, day treatment psych facilities, almost any nurse administrator or nurse educator job that doesn't require clinicals. Also there is infection control in hospitals, educators in hospitals, informatics nurses who write software or work in hospitals, Director or MDS nurse in a long term care facility.

9-5, then you gotta work 5 days a week!, 3x 12.5hrs is legit
