Sigh.. I feel old!!! I graduated in 1989 when it was Regents. :P Currently working as an RN in outpatient urgent care but I've worked pretty much every adult unit you can think of over the years.

Graduated in March 2006.

As soon as I got my license I worked in home health for a miserable 8 months. I will never do that again. Been in and out of the nursing home and private duty since then.

Currently 8 months pregnant, working odd jobs as a private duty nurse, trying to get rolling on EC BSN degree so I can enroll in a NP program somewhere.

i got my paramedic license and worked for about 3-4 months as a medic. passed the cpne, went to work in long term care. heh. had never even done a medpass .

went through a bit of hell at first, lots of lpn's angry that i was an rn and not adept at basic tasks. that's long been water under the bridge. i'm still doing prn at that same nursing home and working medsurge/oncology at a magnet hospital.

i work a lot, since it's my personality. this year, i'm on track to make about 110k. it's nothing magic, just agressively picking up shifts, etc. helps a lot being a guy. my back doesn't bother me, my feet don't bother me.

i never would have been able to do this without ec. it was a great stepping stone in my life along the way to an mba/rn/cpa = future ceo of a healthcare company .
