I wish you and your son all the best in the world and I am sure you will make the right choice and giving your son the right to make choices for himself is the right thing. To many parents today live through their children and not for their children.

My son wanted to do this and I agreed to it. Even though it is very time consuming, but at the same time it is full of rewards.

God Bless and Best of Luck

I have to admit that I was (and still am) an RN first.  With all of its difficulties, I have to admit that I would prefer to be an MT than return to that extremely stressful situation of RN bedside nurse.  The one good thing that I can say with regards to nursing is that the pay seems to be really good, though, and it does not seem difficult for a new grad to find a good niche in which to begin working.  One piece of advice that I give is to work towards a minimum of a Bachelor's degree and possibly move on towards a Masters degree or even a PHD, before you are 50.  Find a job that you can continue to do until older age, when your body may no longer be up to the physical stress required for direct patient care (especially when it includes lifting, turning the patient, etc.)  Get into a specialty where you can use your brain more than your muscles.  If you are not already doing so, get into an exercise program and take good care of your musculoskeletal system.  If I were not almost geriatric, I would take my own advice.  My big mistake was starting out with an Associate Degree and not continuing my nursing education.  Believe it or not, I cannot even get a job in a doctor's office, as they prefer LPNs.  I even called my state board of nursing and asked if I could get an LPN license by just being an RN and taking the LPN exam.  They told me that I would have to complete an LPN training program first, which I am not inclined to do.  I know it was a strange question to ask them, but I had to ask...Best to you..

I have 30 years experience in MT work and for the last few years have been able to do exclusively operative notes which is what I love.  I have been very happy with current company but have to start my work day early in the a.m. and now my account has been overstaffed to the point there is no work in the morning.  While there is plenty of work late in the day, there is nothing in the morning and so I feel I must look for another company for at least part time op work initially and if it works out I could go full time.  I have left my email address so please feel free to contact me.  Thank you very much for any help you can offer. 

At the end he said, "This is <his name> bumbling through this again.  Thank you so very much." 

Guess it makes me at least feel a little appreciated.

We've never even actually met him in person, but he is my husbands best friend's only sibling and my husband's friend was going through such a horrible time waiting and wondering that he couldn't even go to work. We only wish everybody could have good news.

Thanks again.

I just learned that my boss's daugher-in-law and grand-daughter were involved in a horrendous car accident. The DIL suffered many fractured bones, on top of a pre-existing MS condition. However, the grand-daughter may die, and even if she survives she will likely have severe brain damage.

Can those of who you believe in a high power keep this family in your thoughts and prayers?

Just e-mailed your request to my church who has a prayer group that meets everyday and prays for the requests that are sent in.  Have also sent a few of my own on the way.  Hope all works out.

Please let them know that my prayers are with them, knowing already that God's healing work is with them already.  Thanks for letting us know.

You are in my prayers and hopefully someday the resentment and bitterness will be gone from your heart.  Good luck in your life. 

on JLG and All Type. Speaking with one, actual offer from the other but not sure about either. Concern for more is flexibility which they both promise, but I heard that one before.
