   Growing up, I always had dreams of joining the Peace Corps. I currently support two children in a mission that is close to my heart. One child is in Bolivia, the other in India. One day I hope to be able to volunteer in some capacity on a mission....

   Wow, what an insensitive comment. Makes sense though. I was curious if you were a troll so I read back through some of your posts. You are just offended that nobody on this site thinks YOU should become a nurse! You are an x-ray tech thinking of ...

   Thanks for your post. It may not be the same because this place does ONLY LHR. Did your facility that you are speaking of do other things besides LHR?

   I appreciate all the advice :) Canesduke: The laser hair removal center does not have any doctors or surgeons working there, only treatment providers (nurses), so meeting plastic surgery contacts would not be happening there. But that is good thoug...

   I am even more confused after visiting the laser center and observing. It seems fun and something I would really enjoy, low stress. They have been in business in this area for over seven years but have locations in a lot of states. It seems like a...

   Well to be completely honest, I am a new grad with embarrassingly a month of hospital nursing experience. It was a med-surg cardiac floor and I was completely panic-stricken, overwhelmed, depressed... you name it. I had anxiety at clinicals in scho...

    I'm a new grad and one thing I know for sure is that floor nursing is NOT for me. It's not beneath me, but I'm not good at it.. can't do it.. don't wanna do it. I have two offered options: OR internship (circulator), and working in a laser hair re...
