What do you do for a living?

To those hard working people working so that others don't have to work. What do you do for a living?

[Curiousgirl2414]

Nurse. Started in the ER back in 2016 and transferred to the ICU in 2017. Signed up to be a traveling ICU nurse in March of 2020 to work myself into oblivion to try to pay off school loans.

Hmmm usually nurses in the er have to do residency first no?

[Curiousgirl2414]

Can’t speak for everywhere, but my RN program was 2 years. In year 2, you work various clinical rotations, similar to an education student being a student teacher. But if you’re referring to the type of residency a physician or provider has to go through, no, at least no where to my knowledge.

I work as an administrator in a medical practice. It is basically taking care of the business side of a doctor's office.

[ManHater]

Must pay very well?

[PrettyPriya]

It is actually quite good as far as pay. Loads of work though. That's okay. Busy makes the day go quicker.

[ManHater]

Indeed, for 25 you are doing pretty good for your self.

[PrettyPriya]

Well, to be fair, my father is a doctor at the practice and much the reason I got into that line of work. I have only been in that position for about a year.

Previously, I was more of an admin assistant there after graduating. Had to learn the ins/outs of it before being entrusted to take care of things.

Luckily, I had good mentors and worked hard. Thanks for the replies!

Ah, I understand. Very admirable, I some what followed suit as to my father was a boilermaker for 40 years but despite his eagerness to question on if I joined the union was a "no". When I understood that when they do reactor work its the army of boiler makers getting dossed up. So I joined the United Association of steam fitters, plumbers and welders. They don't doss me up like I am going in for chemo. Hehe

Interesting how often children follow in parents footsteps. My younger sister is off to medical school next year. So, very much following what my dad did.

The only one who hasn't in my family is my brother. He is military.

I am a nurse assistant in residences for the elderly. 😁
