OK-- I posted this on the nursing board, but wanted to hear from the MT side....Like everyone else I am really sick of this no work, no money, etc. So, I have thought about becoming a nurse....I am already accepted into a program for the fall 2009 and am really wondering....It is great working from home considering I have a 2-year-old and a 1-year-old (only 14 months apart) so I like that aspect of it, and am really worried about the nursing side being nights, weekends, holidays, etc. but let's face it, we work that as MTs right? It is just that we are at home to do it.....I would love to hear everyone's opinions out there......I am really torn and would love feedback.....
