how long is your commute?

Published

Just wondering how long everyone's commute to work is.

Specializes in Critical Care, Cardiac Cath Lab.

My current clinical site is about 35 minutes from my house, but I'm applying at a hospital right now that is less than 1/2 mile from my house. I can walk there in less than 15 minutes, and they start new grads at a higher pay rate than the hospitals that are further away from me. Wish me luck! :D

Awesome!!!

22 Days till final finals.

Actually, it gets even better. Since I work hospice/home health, and live in a crowded city, it is pretty much required that we use our bikes to go from client to client. I average 90 minutes bike time per shift, which sure helps keep me in shape.

Also, my company has a "bicycle plan", which gives us a good bike at a cheap monthly payment, including insurance on it.

I haven't driven a car in several years, and don't miss it at all--that post about spending $400 a month on gas to get to work really shocked me!!!

Good luck on your finals.

Job #1 is 50 minutes to 1 hr 15 minutes depending on traffic

Job #2 (prn) is 8 minutes

Used to be full time at Job #2 but I decided I'd rather hate the 2 hours on the road and love the 12 at work than like the 16 minutes on the road and hate the 12 hours at work.

takes 5 minutes to walk to work right now. I am less than a block from the Nursing home where I work.

When I go to the hospital starting in June it will be 40 mins/26 miles. If I take the job in Baltimore, it will be about a 3 hour drive one way.

Not sure.. lots of options.

Before I retired, 20 miles, 45-60 min in am commute, ~30 min @ night (7pm).

Now, 10 miles, I don't hit commuter traffic (unless an accident has it really backed up, then I can easily take surface streets), I'm there in 20 min, max. Hallelujah!

15 minutes from the time I leave my driveway until I clock in.

I used to drive 2 1/2 hours each way

I beat you ALL!!! Took me over 2 1/2 hours to get to work the other day. People in California can't drive in the rain... It usually takes 1-2 hours.

Hahahahahahaha This is soooo true! :chuckle: Every time it rains it makes the news. Before I moved down here the rain didn't really bother me but now I'm scared to drive in it! :lol2: I don't even want DH to drive in it. Honey don't go out. Can't you see that it's raining?!? LOL
