I've been a nurse for 5 1/2 years and I like it. I've only done Labor and Delivery b/c as crazy as it seems I don't really think I would enjoy my job if all i took care of was "sick" people. I've been sent to med-surg and I truly have a lot of respect for those nurses. I like people who are healthy and coming in for such an exciting event. Just like any job it has its pros and cons. What I really enjoy is only working 3 12 hr shifts/wk. I'm a travel nurse and fortunately so is my FI. He's from Ohio and I'm from Louisiana. We met on our first assignment in St Thomas-pretty cool. We've since traveled to San Diego, HI, and are currently in L.A. He does med-surg and enjoys his job. I also like the fact when I have children one day I can work as little or as much as I want. You always have day or night, 8 or 12 hr shifts too. If I had to do it over again I definitely would!!
