I'm a nurse at a world renowned paediatric hospital in Canada. I work on the general paediatrics and infectious diseases unit. We see a whole range of kids, and have a heavy rotation of complex care kiddies who unfortunately pay us frequent visits! Heading into the busy season (Get your flu shots!) so this should be an interesting few months.
I'm doing shifts now, which is tough and after the baby comes I plan on taking my full year (my employer tops up my government mat leave for the first six months). Then I'll likely look or something closer to home, without the shift work when it's time to go back.
I am an Office Support Associate for a local township. Basically I handle residential billing for waste & recycling and quarterly sewer bills as well as other office duties. Just hit 6 years Oct. 26. I hope I will be able to return after my STD next year. I plan on telling the office next week after my first U/S on Tuesday, 12/15. Fingers Crossed!!!
I have three degrees (Risk Management, Real Estate, and General Business Management) but with my H constantly traveling it's easier for me to be a SAHM then to work. Definitely not what I pictured doing, and I plan to rejoin the workforce after all my kiddos are in school, but I love it for now.

What a great thread! It's fascinating seeing a glimpse into all your different lives. Some of these careers I didn't even realize existed. . .
I have been a nurse for 10 years now. I started in home care for pediatric ventilators, then moved into oncology and chemo for 6 years. But for the past 3 years I have been an after hours hospice nurse, and it's awesome. I work evenings, part time. I attend to patients and their families in all types of environments, from living in a van to a mansion, private home, nursing facility or ICU.
