Me, I'm a senior staff nurse in an ICU, specialist interest in ECMO and Transport of the Critically Ill. Hoping to apply to train as an advanced critical care practitioner in the unit (if the funding ever gets released!)

Really good thread by the way, nice to find out what other folks do.

Ps- forgot to add that I'm part-time and share the house hold chores and child care with the wife- pretty good "work/life balance"- just not a lot of outdoors-time at the mo...

Favorite bits are being around for my Youngling and getting down and dirty with valeting *hums Rose Royces 'Car Wash' ;) *... ohhh and road testing, specialising in off road testing.... well they are 4x4s and someone has to check they're man enough for the odd wood collecting run, tis usually the only time in their lives they taste the mud! ;)

I'm a journalist and investment banker. I'll get my coat...
Ever been asked to write about your other job as a banker?

Wow! Banker and journalist? Two jobs that have fallen out of favour with the general public. Unfair though to be blamed for actions of others. We've bankers in the family. All good ppl.
