i am an RN LMT in Florida and this happened to me as well when i was working as an LMT while going to nursing school. NO problems in getting my nursing license, and im real careful to physically view a massage est lic now before working as an LMT in ...

Yes, brilliant, I will be in class with you Tweety, getting my MSN and teaching part time that would be very rewarding and much less stressfull.

Good luck and welcome to allnurses

You definately nailed it, just lay back relax and enjoy the wait.

eeeeesh! The headlight idea sounds good though, definately something to think about for disaster/hurricane nursing.
