One consideration is this--is this a job you really want to stay at and can you explain your short tenure with the Med-Surg job (i.e.--no opportunity for advancement, didn't meet my skills, etc.)? I...
Crazy? Not at all! I'm over 50 (I'll leave it at that) and am considering going back to EC after 20+ years in respiratory therapy because the healthcare field is often very nurse-oriented and the RN...

I have a concern with the EC CPCE exam. I'm an RT that has been working in the Informatics for the past 10 years. As a result, I've been out of patient care for that period of time. I've been...
