Help, I have been working in the same hospital--operating room for 30 years. Still have a few years until retirement. Due to hospital restructuring, there is also reduction in our staffing, but we are expected to do the same plus more with less. This has led to a negative working environment with co-workers--poor morale. Needless to say--I want out--to retire and do travel nursing. I want to work in an environment that is happier with less discord. It is affecting my own working standards and my health. Just need some encouragement as to if this sounds reasonable and should I go for it? I love to travel, have no family ties or anything to hold me back. Not necessarily in it for the $$$$, just want to be happy again. Thanks for any advice!

Thanks for your reply Daves. Yes--Sun City Center is a 55+ retirement community. I have been there twice to visit my sister. Yes it did seem very strange to see the golf carts and older residents. It is nice there but even though I am 55+ I don't think I am at the "older resident" stage yet. I try to stay "young" in my mind--active, walking and going to the gym (when I am not too burned out from work). I am thinking of moving on from my full-time job of 30+ years to try travelling. Management is restructuring our operating room, cutting staff and expecting us to do more, while their annual salaries increase. I live in New York State. While I don't mind the cold and snow, I do not like the many gray depressing days with no sun. Do you know if there are seasonal operating room jobs around Sun City Center? Or maybe working conditions are like this all over the country, and I should just tough it out where I am at for a few more years? Thank for any info, Raej11

Has anyone ever worked or travelled to South Bay Hospital in Sun City Center? My sister lives in Sun City Center and she keeps trying to get me to move there from New York State. I have 30 years experience in the operating room. Just wondering what the working atmosphere is like there--good or bad? I know it is HCA. Thanks for any info. Raej11
