  1. Looking to re-enter the field via LTC

    Thanks so much for sharing your impressions with me. How sad! I shudder when I consider how much worse things could get for nurses and patients. I truly hope you will find peace and fulfillment in the next chapter of your life!
  2. Looking to re-enter the field via LTC

    Appreciate your taking the time to post! Looks like you're about my age. If you don't mind my asking, what made you want to leave nursing?
  3. Looking to re-enter the field via LTC

    Oh wow! Well, you've certainly put in your time, with 30+ years. Best wishes with your post-nursing career!

    Thank you!
  5. Looking to re-enter the field via LTC

    It's really encouraging to hear that. One of the factors that makes me hesitant to rejoin the field is reading through comments about how there is so much backbiting and other factors that contribute to such a negative environment for nurses. Thankfu...

    Are you planning on staying in LTC, CapeCod Rn, or do you hope to eventually transition back to hospital?

    Bless you, CrunchRN! Thanks for the encouragement--I can really use it!
  11. Looking to re-enter the field via LTC

    Thank you for your feedback! I was actually thinking of just staying in long-term care, but I'll be giving that more careful consideration.
  12. Looking to re-enter the field via LTC

    Wow, I would never presume that nursing hasn't changed, or that I wouldn't need a refresher. What I am questioning is whether LTC would be a good re-entry point as opposed to some other specialty.
  13. Looking to re-enter the field via LTC

    I'm curious to hear people's opinions: Would LTC be a good re-entry point for an RN (me!) who has been out of the field for >10 years (raising my kids)? I have 6 years nursing experience total, the first year as a new grad spent in LTC, the remain...
  14. ER triage/billing

    Thanks for the helpful advice. Yeah, I'll be checking with my insurance since my appeal was denied. As far as details of the injury go, crazy thing, but it was the exact same event both times: jumping out of a swing in our backyard and having a some...
