a very happy new year to everyone here.i hope that all of your goals are met and all your wishes come true........san:chrs:

I better be called a nurse.I have put in many years of training and practice for anyone to dare say I am not a nurse!!! LPN's are in demand here as well.And opportunities are endless and getting more so all the time.

I keep coming back and then going away for a long time because this sight does not have active interaction.It really is a shame too.

:welcome: [color=slategray]hi there,ladybug.i have not come to this site in awhile because i got very frustrated with the lack of participation.thought i would stop in today and not much has changed....lol.wanted to say hello tho and i hope you achieve all that you hope to in the future.good luck to you......san

Sandy here from southeastern CT.I am an OBGYN office nurse and love to visit the elderly too......San

i've seen the south of the boarder stuff.what a trip. i can do you one better tho. today i learned that an office building that is fairly new in the last 5 years has a window configuration that when seen from i95 in new london ct spells out tit esp at night when the lights are on inside the building. i have never seen it but, now that i know ,i will have to drive down to the shoreline to see for myself. :rotfl:

hi lara,i attended and graduated from a state tech school lpn program that at the time was way cheaper than that. i only paid for uniforms and books. as a state of ct resident ,i did not have to pay tuition.(such is not the case now however).let me tell you ,it was a very intensive,clinically heavy program that prepared me 100xs better than the rn program at the college here. and all of it's graduates thru the years have been able to get jobs in every area of nursing ,from er to obgyn to med surg..and everywhere in between. the cost is not the issue, but the quality of education .i recommend you look further into accreditation of the school.also talk to it's alumni to get the info on job placement and education recieved by them. good luck to you.nursing for me has been very rewarding and satisfying.it is a hard road but well worth it in the end.

I live and work as an LPN in a doctor's office in Connecticut.

if you want to stay right in groton there are many lower income units available there as well as new london, norwich,& waterford.if you are navy it should not be too hard to find units they approve of or live at the navy lodge until you can advance on the waiting list for housing. there are several hospitals,numerous nursing homes and assisted living housing to find work as a nurse.we have many colleges and universities nearby to do more studies if you wish or to meet new people. i think you will like it here and if you need someone to talk to give me a shout,by all [email protected]

hello to you new posters. i will gladly talk all day about connecticut and the great nurses and nursing students that are here. i often thought of retiring to someplace warmer when the time comes but this year i am thinking that florida is not the place . if i didn't love the ocean so ,i might consider arizona. but i have the feeling i will stay in my fave state til i die.

hello,marilyn, i have been an obgyn office nurse for 20 years now so don't think you are alone out here. glad to meet you and hope to get to know you.

i have been up and down the east coast,1st with my dad in the navy and then to virginia for 4 years with th dh. but we came back to ct. every time because we love it so. have thought off and on about going south again when we retire but have decided that we will have to rethink hurricane alley again after this season.i live in the southeastern part of ct. where will you come home to?undefinedundefined

Do you mean Groton CT.?

nice to meet a fellow obgyn nurse from ct. i love the office side of this speciality. i love to get the young kids and the older ladies through this exam.....lord knows it is sometimes a traumatic event in our lives. hope to see you around and maybe chat with you at some point.

i was thrilled to find your post and was very glad i did. i wholeheartedly agree with ben stein. it angers me that people like barbara streisand stand on thier soapbox and tell everyone to conserve energy while she lives in a gszillion room mansion with every light and pool filter running full balst (not to mention her airconditioning)! also noted your profile. it looks like we may have a few things in common. maybe we can chat sometime.have a great holiday.
