New nurse currently working on a pretty hectic/draining med-surg floor in the middle of a major city for a bit over a year, looking to apply or transfer to a new floor but trying to figure out which. The main thing I want to plan around is my partner and I are interested in starting a family and having a child in the next year or so. I can’t picture myself being a very present father/husband while working med-surg and constantly needing recovery days only to just be tired again. To all the nurses who feel like they have the time and energy to be there for their family, where do you work? And just for extra maybe pertinent personal info, before I met my partner I was pretty interested in maybe psych or hospice, but now I think I’m willing to do whatever so long as I can be there for my hypothetical family!   submitted by   /u/ahnomehly [link]   [comments]
