yep, was a EMT- ambulance, then worked ER....Had a break from working (disability)....then, became a nurse at 37 yo- worked ER, Psych and med/surg for a short time, then went into home health nursing and never looked back. I totally agree that hypomania fits in well with nursing. When I get to work in the mornings we are all trying to prep to get out the door to see patients and it can be complete chaos!...
