OT: What's your area of expertise?
I work in the Neuro/surgical ICU- loads of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!
You name it I hae done from delivering babies in a small country hospital to home health. I have been a nure for 10 years this month.
I am still mastering wskill and currently work on my BSNat Emory uni.
My dream job is where I am. I love the patient population and the people I work with are part of my family. No back stabbing or complaining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jennifer, can I ask you a question? I'm in the Atlanta area also and am going to begin taking classes next spring at GA Perimeter college via online. That's just for my core stuff, but they have a nursing program as well. Are there any certain schools in the area that are considered better to attend than others? Obviously Emory has an outstanding rep, but does it really matter where you get your 2 year RN degree from? Thanks!

Hey Mary,
Your not alone. I too would love to be a domestic engineer as well. I guess that's a huge reason why I went into home health nursing. The flexibility allows me to juggle work and kids/homelife. Good luck with your goal!

And big thanks to all my fellow nurses for replying. It is so interesting to read and reminds me why I became a nurse!

I've just moved to the ER in a Trama level II hospital. Talk about exciting!! I'm just finishing up the bridge program and am learning a lot. Before that I worked 1 1/2 years on a general med/surg/trauma floor. It gave me some good experience, but it was time to move on and I'm loving it.
Other interests: camping and SCUBA diving. I would love to live somewhere in the mountains near rivers and waterfalls...one day. I also love to go on mission trips.
My dream job is to be a missionary at least part time and use my nursing skills as part of a team to help reach people's physical needs as well as their spiritual ones. I've gone on several mission trips, but none since I've become a nurse. I've been working on honing in my skills. I've been to Jamaica, Dominican Republic, and Haiti and loved every minute of it.
Hi I am a Registered Nurse Certified Case Manager prior to this I worked ER, PACU, Special Procedures. My dream job? the one I currently have. If I decide to change directions some day it will probably be in the form of law, such as Legal Nurse Consultant but for now I have no desire to change jobs. I always add to my knowledge, classes, books, online etc... (do not wan't to get stagnant) Nursing is a fantastic field there are sooooo many areas to branch out into, we are really lucky!

1) Specialty is Occupational Health Nursing. I have a job in Worker's Comp/ Case Management/Return to Work. I also have a "first response" job in a large manufacturing plant.
2) Came from ICU for a few years, then Home Health
3) 11 years in nursing - almost 12!- man it goes fast doesn't it? 6 years in Occ Health, 2 1/2 in case management. I think it probably took about 5 to feel pretty good about really knowing safety/occ health...still learning though!
4) Dream job - having a company car, paid travel and CEU's, great wages, and company supplied cleaning lady for my home! LOL
I live here in Mexico City.
A nurse for 26 years. Last 7 as a school nurse.
Recently went back to my Alma mater to lead the support group for RNY patients.
If you have patients that need to self pay, Mexico City is a very good option.
There is a very big difference between going south of the border or going to Mexico City.
My dream job would be to have a Talk Show!!!!!!
