  • I’m not in the healthcare field, but if you enjoy learning from people and like the idea of using what you learn, you should continue in a new unit. Also, if you look for another job later on, especially one that’s more challenging or advanced or pays better, I’d assume you’re more likely to get it based on your experience in an actual unit as opposed to patient transport.

    You’re no less qualified, since you’re a nurse either way, but a recruiter might want someone with more recent relevant experience and/or sharper skills in specific areas. Not to mention that on-the-job training and day-to-day learning teaches you a lot and you would miss out on a lot of that in patient transport.


  • Oh, interesting; that wasn’t my experience at all. There were popular/preppy girls that played sports, but there was a separate type of girl that played multiple sports and made it, like, part of their identity like the guys did. Didn’t really have a name for them, though.

    I guess “jock” would work for a girl/woman, but if you said “I hooked up with a jock last night,” everyone would assume you meant a guy. So it’s not really a gender neutral term.
