Pauline's Story
Life
I have been divorced many years, have 2 grown children (1 daughter with 2 children - a boy and a girl, 1 son with a boy and a girl), am a registered nurse and worked as a travel nurse for past 10 years. I have been to Oregon, New Mexico, North Carolina, Nevada, Tennessee and Maryland as well as various areas of Florida. Because of the packing/unpacking every 3 months, I decided to give up the furnished apartments provided by my agency and have been a full time RVer for the past 8 years. I traded my 2nd one in on a 29 foot travel trailer with a slide-out. Although I stopped the travel nurse job, I resided in my RV in Orlando and worked at a local hospial there so I could be near my kids and grandkids.
I returned to Tampa March 19,2006. I moved into an over 55 community and work at University Community Hospial - Carrollwood in the ER. My parents live in the same park. My brother and his wife and my sister still live in Tampa.

Workplace
Have worked in 2 hospitals as a staff nurse since graduating. However, since 1993, I have worked as a travel nurse and have worked in about 30 different hospitals. Prior to traveling, I had taught EMTs and Paramedics for 10 years at the local community college in Orlando. I also became a paramedic and worked for the local ambulance service. I did occasional work in the first aid room at Wet 'N Wild water-theme park in Orlando. I love working as a travel nurse and would prefer NOT to go back to working at any one hospital - I love the traveling too much.
However, as of May, 2004, I have stopped traveling and have settled down back home in Orlando to be near my children and grandchildren. I am working full-time at a local hospital and am satisfied for the time being. However, I do plan to travel again, but probably not until I retire.
