how many nursing jobs have you had/how long have you been a nurse?

[HappyNurse2005]

I've been a nurse for 5 1/2 years. I've had 3 nursing jobs, and will be starting the fourth soon! sorta feels like a lot to me.

job 1-1 year 3 months

job 2- 3 years 3 months

job 3-1 year

I didnt set out to be a job hopper! left job 1 because a job in the field i wanted was open. left job 2 because i thought that m-f job would be great. leaving job 3 next month because i want to get back to the hospital (and labor and delivery)

30 years in, 7 jobs, none less than 2 years. 1 for 10 years, because I loved it. the others due to moving, only 2 changes because they were toxic environments.
