Maine has so much to see. You have gotten some great tips. I live in York Beach and the seabreeze is swirling through my house. The Nubble Lighthouse right here in York is famous and worth a view. Great neighborhood to walk with the kids and a playground right off of Short Sands Beach. Other one is Long sands but it is crowded at High Tide! Definitely go route one, Head up to Rockland, Rockport, Lincolnville and Camden and see over ten lighthouses in 20 miles. Chamber of Commerce and Downeast magazine are great resources. DownEast just came out with "Jewel of the Coast" edition on area I metioned. Includes map too, which the COC provided. Portland is great. Seafood in abundance, follow your nose and locals. Have Great Fun in this beautiful land I am lucky to call Home. Cheers, Abbynormal, ED~RN:>}

Hi, you are not alone in your feelings. i switched from ICU to CCU to ER to TELE to conquer my career demons. Initially it is like getting a booster shot. If you find your niche the booster will provide lifelong immunity. From personal experience and a lot of research, making negative comments( even completely truthful ) will count against you. Be positive and say you are ready for a new career challenge. Interviewers automatically think you will speak poorly of them, when and if you move on. There is a bit of paranoid tendancies in HR and Managers. Believe it or not, new grads make pretty close to what experienced nurses make; depending on state and city. I precepted several new grads who started out making more money than i. sad but true. so do not let money stop you. ~A change is difficult but the way you feel, it will be a relief. The nursing shortage is in your favor, depending again on your geographic location. ~Hang in there. You obviously have a lot of passion:balloons: ~abbynormal
