Getting back in the game

I've been off of work for a year (staying home with my kids) and now I'm thinking about going back (prn or casual position, not full-time). Any tips to get back into the game?

I think I'm going to be pretty limited by the fact that I will only work weekdays, day shift. I have a BSN, 3 specialty certifications and 10 years of work experience in healthcare (7 as an RN). I'm open to starting my own consulting business as well, but I honestly have no business experience.

    Give a call to your old coworkers/managers. Only thing that comes to mind.

    Contact a staffing agency.

    Most casual positions preferentially go to FT staff who are looking to back off a little.

    Apply for a PRN position in the staffing pool and sign up to work weekday days. Start with your old employer and people who know you.

    I really dialed back my hours when my kids were born. I learned that it helped to get physically fit before going back. I learned to really work out a detailed plan with my husband about who would do what in household and childcare matters. I learned to have backup childcare just in case.
