   FutureRNsarah replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   Hi nurse Beth, It is such a personal decision so I'm sure some people must think it's strange that I'm asking for advice from complete strangers on this. I guess it's just that I've thought about what to do for so long and I just can't find an answer...

   Thank you nurse Beth for those wise words. I'm surprised to have read the above comment, I find it a quite aggressive. I don't think I need to be ashamed for asking for advice on two things I want badly. No one knows my circumstances and I did not fe...
