I wouldn't know about that as I am fully self-employed and cum and go as I please.
The last time I went on a vacation from work I stayed 8 years...

WTF - When I came back they said they had given my job to someone else.....

Proper fixed hours - They will even pay for me to do a top up so I get my 'qualified' status back - That's an 18 month commitment though...

I liked doing it - You have to really or you couldn't do it well - Adult has given me a freedom to do what I want for so long it's hard to imagine going back to nursing full time - I'm 43, I don't want to go backwards.....
