'Good day' or 'bad day' largely depended on how well staffed we were and when it got downright dangerous many of us left the profession. For three years I worked with a plastic surgeon first assisting her in surgery. After she went crazy (literally) I quit nursing all together and for the last two years have stayed home. Don't know what I want to do now  .....any suggestions??? |
Could go into General Practice with a Doc. Not much excitment and not as much pay, but you get to see a lot of the patients both young and old.
Or you could go into at home care nursing. That's what my son has for when he's at school. A personal nurse to tend to his medical needs while his educational needs are met.
Ever thought of going independent?
