   With your background maybe an Infection Control Nurse. The federal government usually hires for this specialty. This is such important work and I believe pays well. Good luck! You have many options!

2. Husband Died—Looking For Low Stress Job Recommendations

   Air89 replied to Midlife452's topic in General Nursing

   My husband died five years ago. I had to support and take care of my four children on my own. I was at that time to start an Lpn to RN program. I had to withdraw from school and was probably a wise decision. I think you are smart in looking to sc...

   Air89 replied to Air89's topic in New York

   Wow, your a step or two ahead of me. I was waiting for orientation before ordering a stethoscope; it doesn't hurt to be prepared. Yes. Reality is starting to sink in. I can't believe we start class next week. Other than the supplemental books tha...

   Air89 replied to Air89's topic in New York

    I am also going to the Coopers Campus, I applied to the RN program at CCC but was placed on the waiting list. I had to complete the chemistry prerequisite last spring so my application to CCC was late. I feel the same, excited and nervous.

    Yes, completely understand your frustration. I'm also waiting to get into the Nursing program here. I was hoping to get in Fall 2014 but I had to complete a prerequisite and like you worked really hard only to find out that I am going to have to wai...
