Wish I could be of more help to you but all I can say is in 1985, wow thats sounds like a long time ago, when I got out of nursing school, that is all I really wanted to do and got a job in L&D. I worked in L&D for 6 years. But not sure how they handle it now. The way I look at it, You've got to start somewhere and someone has to give you a chance. If you really want L&D and think you would like women services too than be sure and let the head of the womens dept know that. Good luck to you!!!

Hi, I am very new at this. I was wondering if there was anyone else like me that has taken a considerable amount of time away from clinical nursing to raise their kids and then decided to get back into it when they were old enough. That is basically my story, one child is 16 and one 9 and I have stretched not working as long as I can. Its time to get back in there now but have found it harder than I thought it would be. I have thought about taking a nurse refresher course but really dont want to do that if I dont have to. Would love to work in this fairly new pain management center in my town and have an interview Friday with them. Does anyone have any advice for me before my interview? Since it has been so long since Ive been in clinical nursing I dont have a lot of self confidence but think I could learn a new field if given the chance. I just might be kinda slow at first. do you think I have a chance?
