Question Question, for you seasoned nurses. I currently have two jobs. One working on a acute care Med Surg floor in a hospital 75 miles from home. I also work nights so getting home is a chore. I have almost had at least a handful of accidents. I also have fallen asleep in traffic. Most times I have to fight to stay awake. The work environment is quite hostile but overall I like my job and the experience is great. Were also short staffed and often go over ratios, and many people want out, it's just not a good environment. People are exiting right and left. My other job is at a nursing registry with diverse positions close to home. I enjoy these jobs and I'm learning tons, and the pay is great. Next week my surgery DOC is teaching me conscious sedation, very excited. My question is would it be bad to quit the long commute job and stay at the registry? I am almost to a year and plan on keeping the registry even after I land a job near home that I love. I know the nursing path is quite diverse and I'm trying to paint my own history. I would like to be a diverse nurse with more than med surg experience. Any ideas????
