I have a question for the polls I haven't seen here yet.
Where do you nurse, hospital/homehealth/hospice/nursing home/ clinic?
Second question what is your speciality?
Me, I work in a clinic where we deal with cancer patients from dr visits to chemo therapy and everyrthing in between and beyond.

Hi , I currently work at a level one trauma center in the Trauma ICU (almost 2 years), I also float some to the ED. Previous to this I worked in a Pulmonary step down unit(almost 3 years) (long term vent weaning, trach's, little med-surg ect.), and previous to this I was a respiratory therapist (RRT) for 7 years. I enjoy and have enjoyed all these areas and someday will try flight nursing.

Whew makes me tired just reading your message--sounds a lot like me--I am in Occ Health right now but have done many of the same things that you have done. I am going on 32 total years--thinking about slowing down some soon--good luck to you
