Topic: RE: I NEVER KNEW THIS WAS HERE
Silvia,
I stop by this site from time to time. I, too am a RN. I assume that is why it is called a RN message board. I usually read and post on the MN message board. I am from MN, and some of the postees (is there such a word?) are in my area. I have only been reading this site for a few months, and have found valuable info. I am 50! Have you had surgery? I hope to. Vickie

Topic: RE: Has anyone here had plastic surgery or a panniculectomy?
Thank you for your prayers.. someone upstairs must be listing as I have an appointment to see a plastic surgeon this next week. He might look at me and tell me to come back when i have another 100 lbs off .. but then again he might let me do this now.
Topic: wondering where to go...
Hi guys,
I am currently in an RN program, and graduate in December. I have been searching the internet trying to find the average pay scales, and I have had no luck, just confusion. My hubby says he will go wherever I want to go, but I want to know the average pay scales before I do anything. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I didn't know that they had an R.N post site! I'm an R.N and I'm 23! MY surgery is August 23/04! So Everyone who uses this post are nurses?

Topic: RE: OT: What's your area of expertise?
Hi Jen!!! I'm an old ICU/CCU warhorse. I have always worked in Cardiac since I graduated. I started out on a tele floor and then went to the Acute Units (that's what we called our CCU's). Stayed there 13 years and had 2 really bad back injuries. Had C3/4 fusion in 1995 and then C4/5 with titanium plate in 2001. Ever since the second one I've been disabled. Had a lot of nerve damage to C spine and L spine. Have a neurogenic bladder because of the L spine damage. But I miss the unit like hell. I want to be back so bad and the old body just won't let me. But now my 28 year old son is in RN school and working as a nurse tech in our children's hospital. He and his girlfriend will both be RNS and both love peds. I'm hoping after having WLS, I can lose the weight and be at a physical level that will enable me to go back and get my masters and teach. I'll never be able to do bedside again. The neuro said even if I lost the weight, the back is gone. It'll make it less painful but won't cure it. I said I can live with that if I can teach. So that's my plan. Hugs. Andrea. PS Dream job???? Team nurse for the Dallas Cowboys, yeah baby!!!!!!!
