What's your side job?

Published

I'm just curious to know what other side jobs nurses out there are doing, whether you're doing nursing full time, part time, or per diem. It doesn't have to be nursing related either!

Main Job - Nurse Manager/Western person who deals with and talks to all other western people whether in anyway related to nursing or not.

Side Jobs - Teach First Aid & CPR and Lifeguard courses to local businesses and NGO's.

- Seat warmer at local bar - very demanding work :)

Specializes in Ortho, CMSRN.

I've done photography professionally before becoming a nurse, but it's an expensive hobby (er... profession). I've jokingly said that I had decided to be a nurse to fund my photography habit. While I LOVE nursing, and it is #1... I really do use it to fund my studio photography. I now have a studio in my garage. I take co-workers photographs from time to time (especially this time of year!).
