New to this board....

hey all i have been a CNA for almost 7 yrs now and currently working PRN at the Naval Hosp at Camp Lejeune NC....anyway Normally i dont come here bc it was for nurses but then i changed back to a brunette and thought well i do work in the health field and i do what a RN does so why not??? Well anyway i am finishing my last test tomarrow (pych eval) they will tell me how nutty i am...lol well anyway then i have to wait til my little one is a yr old (Aug 11th) to send in all paperwork to insurance. They seem to think that if you get pregnant that it will all disapear within a year after the child is born... &*()_&#()_#

Amanda, this is a much slower message board but Welcome. I am an LPN and work at a Miami Hospital. I had Lap RNY 12-15-03 and am very pleased with the results. My recovery was fast and so has the weight loss. I pray for you all the best as you finalize the preparations for surgery. Post your surgery date when you get it! God bless.

Hey Amanda, I am new also. I am not sure why you had to be a brunette to write on a nursing board, but if that is what motivated you than great. I was a CNA for years and that IS a nurse. You work hard and care for patients, which is a huge part of nursing. Not to mention you are working on furthering your nursing education. Good luck getting a surgery date, hope it goes smoothly for you. I will be having surgery Aug 26,2004 and am nervous and excited. My son will be two next month. Are you worried about taking care of your baby post op? I sure am!! Good luck! Look forward to more posts. Kerry
