If you could be in any area of nursing other than the one you are already involved in, and didn't have the constraints of time, training or location, what would you choose?
I would be a flight nurse--(someone would have to medicate me to get me on anything that leaves the ground---I border on phobic of flying !!!) I'd be a GREAT flight nurse too!!! Too bad I can't do it on the ground.
I'd be one of those private duty nurses for a rich family, like the ones in those old movies. Taking care of someone who doesn't need a tremendous amount of care, but just because the family wants and can afford a private nurse. And getting to travel with them wherever they went. Boy, is that a major dream that will never happen. I think that ONLY happens in the movies.
I don't really have any time restraints but I am leaning toward pediatric OR. I have been a mother/baby nurse since the beginning and i am starting to feel trapped. I love the people i work with but i need some skills. I want to do some travel nursing and the positions for M/B nurses are slim. Peds OR would give me something more to work with.

Taz: Are you sure you don't work at my facility? My LTC/Rehab also has vents, trachs, IVs, etc. I am living your dream but would love to do something from home at this point. I also love to sit w/ residents, etc.; and sometimes I can. But this job holds MUCH responsibility, and I feel the need to be home w/ my teens & pre-teens. MDS/Care Plan is not less stress, it is just different stress.
