I have worked at the same hospital for six years now as a CNA and I am getting ready to graduate nursing school. When I first started I don't really remember hearing about the budget and about money as much, I remember it being more on patient care. However, I feel like it could be because I pay more attention now than I did before. I feel like I am so tired of hearing about budget, I understand that hospitals are businesses too, but there is a reason why I did not get a business degree and there is a reason I do not want to be a manager. Are all hospitals this way or is it just the one I am working for? Is it wrong that I do not want to hear about a budget and I truly could care less and just want to take care of patients?

I eventually want to be a traveling nurse. Some agencies say that you can travel with as little as 10 months experience, however I do not feel like that is enough experience. I know that a lot of travel nurse jobs do not get a lot of training so you pretty much have to know feel comfortable just being thrown in somewhere. My question is what is the right amount of experience to start travel nursing or when do most nurses feel like they were comfortable to start traveling?
