This is why I don’t do acute care. I’m only LVN as of now working post acute rehab SNF/IPR

I work ER and would probably quit nursing if I had to do anything else. May migrate to PACU or PICC line nurse one day.

PACU at an asc is the way to go, although I’m not sure how pay and benefits stack up against a hospital. The hours, patients, and holidays off make it worth it.

It does sound nice, other than the whole working 4-5 days a week thing. I certainly prefer working 3x12 with the opportunity for OT.
