work?
I am an antepartum nurse at a major woman's hospital. A large portion of my patients are women who have conceived with ART. I love my job but have been crazy with all the time I have had to take off. I will be moving to nights in about a month-- should make FET or IVF transfers a little easier.
DH is the Director of Theatre at the local college. He is amazing at it, too. A true talent. It has really been interesting to learn about everyone! Thanks for the thread!!

I'm glad Chrissy brought this thread back! It's neat to see what some of you do for a living...
I wear a few hats - the first of which is a high school math teacher, the second of which is a business manager at a local country club, and last is a bookkeeper for a local estate owner. My DH is a warranty administrator for a local GM dealership, an independent mechanical inspector for extended automobile warranty companies, and a federal firearms dealer. How interesting this is! And, I'm addicted to HGTV too! House Hunters, Design to Sell, Hidden Potential, etc...

I'm a teacher too. I teach 6-8th grade social studies at a local catholic school. My DH is a claims rep for an insurance company in town. He works with motorcycles so if you crash he tells you how much money you are going to get for it.

I'm an IT administrator for a large pediatric practice in Princeton, New Jersey. My husband is a pharmaceutical sales manager for Bristol-Myers Squibb. We both went to Penn State (and majored in Advertising, which neither of us do now!), which is where we met!
I love finding out this stuff about everyone, what a great idea!

Ummm....I really should be working right now!!! I'm a Physician Billing IT Analyst/Administrator for a 900 doc health system in central Pennsylvania. I also do some consulting on the side because knowledgeable reps for this system are hard to come by. (...helped to pay for IVF!)
My DH is currently a GM of a known restaurant and on his way to becoming a DO. Not sure how that will work out if we end up BFP! ...crazy hours and all. ![]()

I went back to college after a 10 year break and finally got my degree in Accounting in Dec 2005. Since Jan 2006 I have been working as an accoutant for a pretty large accounting firm. Right now I am gearing up for a busy tax season, which should make the whole IVF process so much more fun.
