Two and a half years ago, We had a traumatic event in our life, we lost our youngest son to a car accident (head-on) and another woman was killed instantly, anyway to make a horrible story short, did you ever hear of the famous last words" I'm a nurse, i can handle it? I had been trained in trauma nursing, as i worked icu, and stepdown unit, for a short time. anyway, when your 0wn child is lying there broken, it is a different story. Because, as a mom, I couldn't do anything for him and as a nurse, I couldnt either, anyway, that gave me a horrible blow. He died Oct.24,2002, my husbands only other sibling died at age 45 Oct.23. 2001 the same way, head on. He was an R.N. on his way to surgery at Williamsport hospital, in our area. So I have been dealing with post traumatic stress. I am slowly making my way back. I am presently doing home care. But , I am ready to get out there and start making some real money now.! I miss being on the go. Do I need to take nursing credits anywhere? I have taken off for 2 years. But, my license is current, I wouldn't give that up for the world, I worked too hard for it.
