Wow, I am just now learning how to do this. Thank you nanacarol. I agree with you that people will be miserable no matter where they are. I am so looking forward to getting back into nursing. I really miss it.

thank you nanacarol.

Here I am at 56 years old and getting ready to sit the LVN exam again...what a fool I was to let my license lapse. I worked as an LVN for five years then took off to raise my family. I decided to use my knowledge and become a certified coding specialist and I have done that for over 20 years. I am tired of sitting in front of a computer 8 hours a day gleaning information from horriblly documented charts to come up with a wonder DRG to get the most payment and stay in compliance with regulatory guidelines...very stressful job. I have decided to return to nursing, my first love, however I read so many threads that reflect that nurses are miserable in today's environment. In my day...pre DRG...thanks to President Reagan, things were much different. I would like to become an RN even at this late date in life and become a midwife. Any insights from out there in today's real world?....codervn
