What do you do? What shift? Do you enjoy your job? Degree?

I'm a RN at Craig hospital for brain and spinal trauma. Night shift. I love my job almost as much as I love my husband lol. Master in nursing science. I formerly worked at children's hospital as a night shift ER nurse. Before that EMT.

    Does it matter what field a person works as long as they enjoy doing their job.

    ^^^^Ignoring Leonidas^^^^ He's just jealous

    ER Nurse...worked almost every unit/specialty though and like the ability to float when I want to and have the diversity to do so gives me job security. Going on over 14 years now, I've worked both nights and days...but I love my nights and my job. Wouldn't trade it for the world. :-)

    Ick!! A good % of my patients are intubated or in coma so I don't get that too much anymore though it does happen at least once a week. But when I worked trauma and as a ER nurse at children's I was almost always covered in bodily fluids lol.

    I always wanted to do OR but never tried it....maybe in a few years when I'm more experience as a nurse. Pediatrics is tough but soo worth it.

    Lab rat! Started out in pathology, moved in to veterinary (we did the lab work for the vets as well as the theme parks, zoos, and aquariums in the area), then went to clinical (even did my turn on hospital night shift), now I work public health in preparedness testing for all the really bad bugs that the bad guys like to use for attacks.
