Great to meet you Jacklyn74rn. Have you worked these various fields all in the same hospital?

No I didn't. I'm currently in a small rural hospital. The psyche position was in a large state mental facility, I was there for 2 years. The longest 2 years of my life. Whle I worked there I was doing prn in the telemetry float pool of a local hospital. After I quit working at the state hospital I just worked float pool in a large hospital and contiuned prn at the local hospital in telemetry. That kept me plenty busy. Very Happy

I have been an LPN for 24 years, now working with developmentally disabled adults (love it) with a group home facility (love it) in northern Illinois.
I am working slowly on getting my Rn...it may or may not happen....depends on what life brings me!
I plan on semi retiring in 10 years or so, and working part time....and wintering in Fla, while working part time there as well!
any suggestions on that idea?

Hi everyone,
I just found this interesting site!! I am a mother of 5---- 4 boys ages 21, 19, 12, & 10; and a girl age 5. I am married to an awesome man, who is the best!!!
I have been an LPN for 20 years, and an RN for less than a year. I am continuing online for my bachelors to masters.
Currently, I work on an inpatient rehab unit... which I love. However, I had a chance to orient on a surgical floor, which I like even more. My goal is to eventually be an inhouse nurse educator, and possibly a wound care specialist. I love wounds... the more involved, the better!!!!
So, looking forward to using this site!!!

cmpadt: I would suggest you spend time on your english because until you master that you might have trouble getting hired in the U.S. Best of luck to you!
