[HONEYDEW1]

I have my RN license from the state of Florida for the past 5

years.But here is my story.

I have my Bachelors in nursing and masters in maternity nursing

degrees from India with 3 years of work experience in the field of

nursing education.After I came to US(Orlando,FL) I took the NCLEX exam(2003) and

got my RN license. But I never worked in US, since I had to stay

at home to take care of my kids.Now I want to prepare myself to achieve my goal of

becoming a Lactation Consultant ultimately since maternity nursing is my passion and I love that line of work.

Are there any courses offered in Orlando FL to reach my goal in a step by step fashion?

OR

Should I have to start working in the field of maternity nursing

before I take any courses to achieve my goal?But it will be difficult for me to find a job since I'm out of work for these many years.So what should I do now?Ideally I would love to take some courses to work towards my goal.

I also would like to know about telephone nursing jobs.

Your help and detailed suggestions will be highly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Search local colleges and do not forget community colleges...I am in Sacramento Ca...but we have a community college that offers an great RN refresher course that also has a clinical component...lots of things have changed since you have been out of the field including new CPR and ACLS recommendations and computer charting...to name just a few...potential employers will look more favorably upon you if you have taken the time to update your skills...perhaps someone in your area can tell you if there is such a thing in your area
