    Nursing. It’s Not Just a Career – It’s a Calling

    "Nursing. It’s not just a career – it’s a calling.

    My hospital used that as an advertising campaign a few years back. Effective, yes, but is it true?

    We think of nursing as a job, our work, a profession (which it is). It’s what we do – a choice we’ve made. Nurses can live comfortably on our incomes and even in hard times, there are usually jobs to be had.

    And the variety! E.R. and flight nursing for adrenaline junkies, floor nursing for those gifted in multi-tasking, Intensive Care for techies, hospice, school nursing, home and public health – the list goes on and on.

    I went around the unit last week asking random colleagues why they’d become nurses. Had they pro-and-conned their way into the field, decided they needed something to “fall back on” (as my mother used to say), or heard a voice from Heaven?"

    I am an ER junkie. Trauma Center Level 2 , lots of fun. I work ER so I can afford to golf. I golf so I am physically and mentally prepared to work. Only one thing I would rather be. I would love to be a golf course Marshall with A golf cart with flashing red lights a shot gun rack. A mounted .50 caliber machine gun and a Big cooler for my gatorade and Pabst Blue Ribbon. I can Dream cant I.
