Found myself looking for jobs again. Used to be always about being where I am because it makes me happy...This main job is easy. Pass a few meds, make sure no one falls and help people to the bathroom and changing them. Easy enough. It's the same thing everyday, 38-40+ patient load with minumum expectations of oh shit happening like when I worked in the hospital. I missed that also, coming into somethings and never running out of stories of how your patient managed to make you facepalm 10 plus times in a night. But I digress. I did med-surg, a little cardiac. home health and long term skilled and short travel stints. I want to do ICU and eventually get my NP. I need cash now, I had happiness in the past with my job that was kinda shitty but was fun and fufilling. Now I'm getting older and itching to buy me a house.
Morally I object to nurses who come in and work just for cash and look at patients as a paycheck rather than a patient but I'm getting older, bills are getting more action from me than anything.
Found a few high paying jobs across country in Cali. I can travel, air bnb, rent a car or get an agency to pay for it and make due when I'm there. The problem I have is what am I getting myself into? Am I selling out? I want to vacation with the best of them. 13 weeks and I'll be set for quite a while if I'm willing to put some energy into it.
