Agree with above,only can deduct mileage if you drive from your job location to another hospital, not from home to work. If you just bought a house, you can also deduct points if you paid for some on your mortgage. Look at the IRS pub on info for new homeowners.
Other things you can itemize as job expenses:
educational expenses that you did for your job, and are not deemed intrinsic to your job description (eg a secretary taking a typing class does not get reimbursed) But a conference that you did not get reimbursed for, texts etc should count.
job related expenses: if you paid for your own scrubs, labcoats (ie: uniforms) you can list it as an itemized deduction. Check to see if the cost of maintaining them is also allowed--I'm not sure.
If your job related expenses amount to more than 2% of your taxable income then the amount over that is deductible.
Don't forget to list that interest paid on student loans as adjustment to income-- that's fully deductible!
A word of warning: don't get too excited about tax deductions for mortgage and etc... I bought a house this year and just did my taxes and my refund is about the same as it was last year.
