I work at St. Joseph. 8th and 11th floor are med/surg and they're pretty tough except you get CNAs which is a life saver. Tele is super hard, and ICU/CCU are really nice. there's openings for psych, diamond headache unit (a modern day opium den), and some of the labs too. we're pretty desperate so you can probably work you way into a acute care setting if you want. you pay for parking each month, you get 2500 (1600 after taxes) back on your college tuition every 6 months, which is nice. I dunno... you have to start somewhere right, and you can't go to a nice hospital until you pay your dues somewhere else. The nicest thing about st. josephs is that some of the floors, depending on shift, have awesome people working with you. If you're not on one of those floors though, good luck.

this is what I've noticed: I'm a night tele nurse at a large hospital, and i barly get to sit down - I'm sure day shift is just as busy. so... not easy I noticed ICU and CCU are less physically demanding as far as running inbetween rooms, but they have their own work cut out for them. I worked OR for three months, and depending on the procedure - you could be more or less involved. but if you're dazing and the doctor needs something, you'll get an earful. In more demanding cases, just paying attention to something so precise is exhausting - and wearing the TB mask for certain surgeries sucks ass. again... not easy Nursing jobs I speculate are easy: being a 1 on 1 dialysis nurse, not the kind with a bunch of pts. sitting in one of those aurora health booths at big shopping malls (as seen in Milwaukee, WI) we don't have them in Chicago yet. I bet being a gift of hope organ procurment nurse is easy, until you get a call - or have a lot of cases at once. legal nurse consultant is probably a cool job. maybe I should just be a stay at home dad, that would rule; i should talk to my girlfriend about that.
