Thanks for the info!

And BTW, thanks so much for the thorough responses.

Overall it sounds great! I know the pay varies by what part of the country you work in but would it be a big drop after working day shift in a hospital ICU?

I'm an RN with 19 years experience in CSU and NICU. It's time for me to pick a job that will give me better hours with my family(I.e. day shift, off by 3 or 4p, no weekends or holidays). I'm really interested in working on a day surgery unit or at a surgical center. Does anyone currently work in this kind of position and can give me some pros and cons? Thanks so much!

I am an NICU thinking about going into school nursing in the Austin, TX area. I have 19 years of nursing experience. Can anyone let me know what kind of salary to expect? Thanks!
