You'd think that nurses would be just dying to post. 
Let me know if you find out.

I didn't know about it. I've been an RN for 31 years now. I'm no longer working but my license is still good, if I decide to go back. There should be an automatic retirement after 30 years, but unfortunately there isn't, so...I'm broke. I'm still pre op---scheduled for April 13th after a postponement due to medical problems. Now that I know about it, I'll keep checking back.
Here's my happy a$$. Half the time when I click on this forum at the bottom left of my pages, it doesn't work.
Then, when I get here there isn't much going on. I guess if we want an active board, we need to start posting.
Jeanie in MO Well, Hi. I'll do my duty, now that I've found this board, and post. I'm a psychiatric nurse, transplanted to Tulsa. In another life I was an ICU nurse and loved that more. Psych was a choice I made because I couldn't keep up physically anymore (but don't let anyone convince you it isn't "real" nursing). It takes a lot of emotional stability to do it...that is until it zaps your emotional stability. 
There is a physical component to it, but not too bad in my case.
I made the decision to have the lap RNY for the reasons I listed in my profile. Everything hurts all the time and I love nursing, so I'm willing to do whatever it takes to do it. More basic than that, I just want to feel good again. When my sons return from Iraq I want them to see a very positive change in their mother. They have always wanted me to be healthy (of course) and they kind of harp on me about it. They're great kids!
I also have a wonderful husband who worries about me all the time. He sees me come home with my feet and back hurting so badly that I can't do anything but get supine. He'd love for me to find something physically less challenging, but that isn't my plan. You should see him when I tell him that a patient took a swing at me!
So, I've now posted. I'd love to hear more about y'all and what your dreams and aspirations are.
