Success Returning to Nursing

I graduated in 94 with a BSN. I worked for 6 years, in psych for 4 and med surg for 2. Then I took 8 years off and stayed home with my two kids. Last fall, I decided that the time had come for me to return to work. I took a refresher class and got a job not too much after that. It took a few months for me to really feel comfortable again, but that's all behind me now. Now I'm doing charge and orienting new grads and it's like I was never away from it, except that now I'm a lot more mature and have a lot more life experience, which I think makes me an even better nurse.
