Okay, that's really good information to know. Thank you for being so thorough! I'm meeting with the LPN program director to go over things before I decide. Thank you again!!!

Thank you for your reply and feedback! Your reply has been super helpful and calmed my nerves.

Hey fellow nurses! I am looking to get some feedback on a situation I am faced with. I live in Missouri (husband is stationed here for military) and back in January I started teaching med-surg clinicals one day a week to LPN students at the local hospital. I have a BSN (did a 4 year as a traditional student), and I've had 2 years of experience as an RN. 1.5 years cardiac telemetry, and then 6 months of home hospice before starting this job. The community college I'm employed by recently asked me to come on board as an adjunct to teach Leadership in the classroom setting to the LPN students. However, I am wondering am I qualified enough or do I even have enough experience as an RN to take this on? Prior to being a clinical instructor, the only experience I had "teaching" was orienting new hire nurses on night shift. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! PS. I am interested in pursuing a graduate degree in Nursing Education, but currently am not enrolled in any graduate program.

Thanks! It's reassuring to know if I choose to go that route, that other nurses out there have stayed home for a few years.

I have 2 years of acute care inpatient, and then 6 months of home hospice roser13, ASN.

My question is for all of you nurses that are also mothers! I just had my first baby in February and decided to stay home until my daughter gets a little older (thankfully my husband is supportive of this decision). My question is how long is too long to not be working in the nursing field? I'm afraid if I stay out too long that I won't be desirable as a job applicant when I go back. Is there a magic number that I should have in my head for when to go back? Thanks in advance for your input!
