It's super sweet and laid back. No weekends, days only and 6 paid vacation days a year. I even have my own office, and get days off whenever I ask. life is good.
@BP: I'm not getting one, and no he is not a dumbfuck. Triple board cert, no marks on his record, super cool guy. FUCK that flu shot shit. Go ahead and get it.
"6 paid vacation days a year" Holy fuck. It doesn't look like America is going to abolish slavery anytime soon when they can convince the workforce that this is a good deal! 
UK, and all of Europe (afaik)
How many days holiday are you entitled to? Full time. If you work full time for 5 (or more) days a week, you're entitled to at least 5.6 weeks' (28 days') paid holiday (statutory annual leave) a year. Your 5.6 weeks' statutory annual leave entitlement might include bank holidays, depending on your contract. beta.acas.org.uk › checking-holiday-entitlement
How many days annual leave do you get in the NHS? Length of service Annual leave and Public Holiday entitlement On appointment 27 days + 8 days After 5 years' 29 days + 8 days After 10 years' 33 days + 8 days
People also ask: How many hours a week do NHS nurses work? a standard working week of 37.5 hours. harmonised holiday entitlements of 27 days per year, plus eight general and public holidays, rising to 33 days after 10 years' service.
I think our front line health care workers are expected to get flu jabs.

Yep, it sucks, but from my POV it's pretty damn good. Also yes, It is a requirement in a hospital or corporate facility to have to get yearly shots of whatever they want you to. Private practice: It's up to the owners/docs what they require. As someone who has worked since they were 12yo really, and growing up very poor, this is a really good job and hours. There is a great number of nurses I talk to that wish they had my job actually. Yes, America fucks people over with vacations, paid time off, days off (holidays or not, etc...). I do get accrued time/holiday pay that rolls over into the next year if I don't use it. I got a week paid so far. It's really fucked that these corps here can take so much from workers and require them to work grueling insane hours.

LOL! I was going to name a band "Typhoid Mary" actually. I like yours better. I only take vitals and do mostly paper/office work and I absolutely love it. Lot of phone calls and gathering of other office visits for the charts etc...I do advocate and fight for the pain meds the people get, and I win most of the time.

Cool your boots before you slip into the common mindless knee-jerk reaction that America is a terrible evil nation to be abhorred. There's no need to sound like a pompous ass. Many US companies draw a distinction between paid holidays and paid time off. At most there are 11 US Federal holidays.

You're free to think about the 330 million people in the US however you like. Your judgments are simply a reflection of your suffering.

Mericans and their non-existent vacations 
I have 33 days paid vacation days. To which I can add all hours that I worked overtime (so I can save extra days off). And that is considered below average here.
School-teachers have a bit under 12 weeks off a year

I know many people who get 4-6 weeks paid time off. My ex has zero college and has $500,000 in her retirement account and over a month off a year. I repeatedly hear Europeans rip on the American 401K program (they claim it's a big scam), but how can you argue with a half millions bucks with no college? I know a guy with a bachelors degree who has a million $.

Yep, my point exactly. Anyone who knows how it really works here would realize the schedule I posted is pretty damn good for a nurse. Especially for a nurse to never have to work nights, weekends, or holidays! (never asked to either)

Europe has 28 paid vacation days per year mandatory, in addition to holidays. Like I said, the US is a joke.
