    IrishCMSRN replied to peacedove's topic in Nurses Recovery

    IrishCMSRN replied to Bkmw1989's topic in Nurses Recovery

    IrishCMSRN replied to Bugsandlola22's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hi Chad, Thanks for the response. My suspension is for 3 years and I don't have any desire to go back to nursing. I was a really good nurse and I loved my job. I just got sucked into a dark cloud...
