Hi, I have recently started working in Nursing again after 10 years. I have some med surg experience, but most of my experience is in long term care SNF and Blood banking.
I rejoined Nursing due to Covid and the fact my son was Diagnosed with Crohn's . I also have microscopic colitis. I have an proud to be part of Team Challenge for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation and completed the NewYork Marathon in November and now going with TC for Chicago marathon in October.
I really feel the calling to go into GI, Endoscopy Nursing and pursuing certification,but not sure the best route. I am 55 and have my RN liscence in California and Washington, and in the process of getting my license in Oregon where my family lives.
Most positions require experience in GI or acute. I see positions for techs, would that help with experience?
Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks
