Hi, Yes, it is my physical condition. I am unable to stay awake and functional for 8hr clinicals or 12hr preceptorship. It is a little more complicated than I just had adrenal failure, chronic fatigue, and fibromyalgia. I was previously a health nu...

pgws0212, Thank you soooo much. It feels good to know that someone has made it despite all the negative talk (about how hard it will be to become a L&D RN and how hard it is to find a L&D job) I have heard from class mates. I know that L&...
