Thanks! I have renewed my license and am researching possibilities for taking a nurse refresher course, as well as talking with local employers re: a good "fit". The best to you, too! Crazy Horse

Hello, I'm hoping to re-enter nursing after an absence of approximately 5 years. My last work was in pediatric home care. I felt my niche was in hospice; however, the program ceased to exist after a year. I loved the work but had little support from management and no orientation. I was hired, found I was the only nurse and suddenly found myself with 13 patients in a very disorganized setting. Our ADN program was great for theory but I did not feel I got enough clinical hands-on. I also have ADHD, am 54 years old, and still am learning how to cope effectively with this condition. Basically, I have good assessment skills, think "outside the box" just fine but have always had difficulty with organization. I did not come out of my experiences with a good sense of routine. I would welcome advice on how to restart my career and how to succeed, without setting myself up for failure. I live in rural Vermont.
