    Hello! I'm an RN who works in a CCU/ICU and will be training to take open hearts in January which I'm very excited about! I worked in med tele before that.

    Started nursing in 1992 as an LPN. Did everything from Ortho to ICU. Got my RN in 2003. Did ICU for a while with a little travel nursing thrown in with it. Started Trauma ER in 2005 and In March of this year started doing Interventional Radiology. I miss the shock traumas, the helicopters, and the adrenaline rushes. But I love working 0630 to 1500 and having the weekends and holidays off. I do one night of call a week and every 5th weekend.

    Hey everyone! I am an RN in the rural network at a little critical access hospital in Kansas so I guess I would say that I mainly do Med Surg and ER where I work. :)

    I've jumped everywhere from Trauma/Surgery as a new grad to medical oncology working with solid tumors to my job now. I work 3-11p 4x/week on a Med/Surg Tele floor and per diem on an Intermediate Care Unit (step down unit) days or evenings. Love my career! : )

    I currently work as a med/surg RN in a busy Trauma II hospital. Love the work, the challenges, and even the hectic lack of lunch. I work mostly nights 7p-7a, but pick up day shifts here and there to keep my skills up and recognize the faces of the doctors I usually have to call at 2am.

    11 years qualified. 1 year in trauma and ortho and 10 years in emergency department (with one of those working two jobs as ED nurse and a sister on MAU. Also heavily pregnant at the time and my midwife thought I was the worst masochist she had ever seen). Future plans a bit hazy. Currently on 2x12 a week usually 7am-7pm with 1 night rotation a month but did nights permenant for about 5 years and saw the light literally and figuratively
