I do not know of any job that if you are bored or jaded that allows you to switch specialties so easily. Our basic training allows us this unique privilege and also not suffer dramatic drops in pay. We work with highly intelligent individuals who ar...

What about a week-end programme some distance away and negotiate, maybe you can stay over the week-end and get compensated traveling.

What's wrong with women who has beards?

Good for you!

Funny!

Stick with it! It will reward you in the end and for the rest of your life. Their really is no better job and I've tried a few. Just do not get embroiled in the pettiness, stay aloof and have an outside life.

Well said, you should be writing for a living. Unfortunately I became jaded with the bitchiness. I simply expected more from obviously intelligent people however the fundamental nature of people and women in general seemed to short circuit their comm...

You seem insightful and well educated, my insight is that it is just a job that allows me such freedom and reasonable income to do the things that make happy and also the amusement of watching the "wranglings" of so many other nurses with their egos ...

When you are right you are right!

I think if you allow nursing to simply just be a job and not a life choice and use it for income, to further satisfy and make you life good, always knowing that if I wanted a change, it would be so easy, or if I wanted to move or travel, no other job...

I think you will find America unlike other developed countries have schedules that are generally prompted by MONEY!, fear of being sued (vaccines are a pre-emtive strike solution), big business dictating, laws dictated with little thought for effect,...

Why not per diem at several places allowing you to make up your required shifts and it also allows you to work the hrs. you want. Also nurse agencies in the area.

Imagine if you wanted to travel anywhere in the world, with this profession it's possible and more easily than others, re. transferring qualifications. It generally includes housing etc. Also the diversity is amazing. Think of how many specialties th...

Thanks! Ditto.

Like anything in life, it will be problematic however with the right perspective and knowing what a terrific job it can be, you might be able to overlook some of these hindrances.

That to me is the only drawback, this inability to work together. I mean it's only to be expected, after all we are dealing with people and their foibles however it would seem that would be the primary prerequisite for the job. Like a fireman being b...

why do think it isn't such a good job?

Isn't it tiresome having to walk this fine line all the times? Doesn't it detract from your capabilities or does it make you better?

How do u guys handle the insanity of women? I mean the extremes of mood, illogical actions and non-nonsensical responses. I observe so many times the bafflement on men's faces re. the responses they have just had from their female counterpart or the ...

Glad u r so respectful, however u must realize it's a job they r doing and u r equally intelligent and capable. After all u do interpret their orders so it must mean u r aware of the processes involved re. their diagnoses and how they arrived at thei...

Concentrate on only what u want 2 do.

Thanx but don't u think u might offend someone even though u r funny.

Sounds like u r Texan and talking about ribs.

Funny!
