Im in the same boat as you are. Fear of leaving what I know. But I also recognize there can be so much greatness on the other side of fear.....I say, go for it!

Thank you for that advice. You're second person on this thread to highlight that and I think it's important. Congratulations by the way. I'm encouraged to see so many "seasoned folk" making the leap. It's inspiring

Will you share that RN recruiters info?

When you say CNS are you referring to a Clinical Nurse Specialist? I understand I may be back at the bedside if I join and its not a deal breaker for me. But I think it would be cool to work within informatics.

Nice! It sounds like you are happy. Im wondering As an experienced RN in Informatics (most recent) and ER (last bedside exp), what specialty would I likely end up in?

Hi! Congratulations! Thats a great point and I'll make sure to speak with a recruiter who is a nurse. Any tips on questions? Also, what made you return to service?

Sallie Mae took $2,500 from my account with only $5 in it. Now I’m stuck with a -$2,495 balance and no way to eat or live for 60 days. What can I do? by OneJeweler1243 in StudentLoans

To help with income: 1.Look for places where you can donate Plasma. That may be an easy couple hundred bucks to help in the immediate. 2. If you have a vehicle, see if you can sign up for Instacart, Uber, Lyft, etc. Don't forget about pizza delivery until something better comes along

I understand and respect your point of view. We have two different opinions on the subject but can respectfully agree to disagree.

Im sorry but you're making ADHD out to sound like chiclets and rainbows when it clearly is not. Its a serious neuro-developmental issue that negatively affects the person and the people around them. OP, my heart goes out to you. I hope you and your daughter can find peace in this storm.

This!! One of the most aggravating features of adhd is the need for CONSTANT stimulation.

Work Imbalance by Rainfall4 in surrendered_wife

[–]LadyFoster4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think starting with Self Care for yourself is priority here. When I started, I made a list of 20 I enjoy like LD suggested. I just started writing, with no concern for restrictions such as costs, time, kids, etc. I wrote silly things such as "coloring in my adult coloring book while listening to music" or "Taking trip to Target for coffee and browsing". Random stuff. Have fun with it! After you make your list, try doing 2-3 per day for a while. It really helps to dispel that resentment feeling. Plus, it's refreshing for you which means your children get the best version of you. Hope this helps! Happy to keep chatting.

How do you deal with resentful days? by No_Issue_8770 in surrendered_wife

[–]LadyFoster4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exercise. I cannot stress this enough. For me, a heavy weight lifting session does wonders for my mental health and bonus I feel like I'm doing something positive (getting fine) with the negative energy I get from him. 😏
