I am just curious what other jobs do some of you nurses have?Currently I am still in school for my BSN, but I plan on nursing not being my only job. Once I get out I plan to get on a fire department, and get my medics license. I hope to work at the hospital on my off days from the department. Anyone else doing something similar?

Dec 8, 2014 Once I became a nurse, I admit I've only stuck to nursing jobs.However, a friend and I once seriously entertained the idea of becoming bartenders as an interesting second job outside of nursing. And if I had the right body type, I would earn some extra cash as an exotic dancer.

Dec 8, 2014 40 hour work weeks and fulltime graduate school, plus 3 school-aged kids is enough for me. I recently applied for a PRN weekend lactation consultant position at a local hospital, but when they called to interview me, I came to my senses and withdrew my application.
