I have been an LPN for almost 20 years and I have worked registry for most of that 20 years. Obviously anyone who works registry will understand that when you work registry you working at variety of specialties. I recently took about 3 years off to care for a sick family member who has since passed away. She had progressive MS and was on a tube feeding had a trach and in the end ended up with a wound vac and an ventilator. Prior to that though I had worked with these kinds of things for years. Now I'm trying to get back into the nursing world. Due to the fact that there's a gap in my employment no one is willing to overlook that. And unfortunately the registry I worked for four years has since closed. I am still in touch with the owner that had that registry but she's moved on to other projects. How do you get back into the nursing world when you taking some time off? My nurse's license is active my CPR is present I just don't know how I get back into the field? It is definitely changed in the last few years. Used to be you could walk into a facility if you had an active nurse's license you got hired. Any advice?
