Hi Denise -

I used to work in an ER for 13 years (RN also). I loved it! How long have you been there? How busy are you? We were a level 2 trauma center for a while, but they gave it up because we weren't seeing enough traumas to meet the requirements for designation. I miss it sometimes.

Nice thread. Wow there are a lot of nurses.
I am a retired NYC Detective, and now I am a Flight Att., I am on medical leave to hopefully get . I read up on the cosmic radiation so I am staying away from flying while stimming and the first trimester.

I may have to move on to another career. But I was considering just being a MOM and nothing else. I have never done that before in 23yrs I have always worked while raising my kids.

I need to get preg. first to see if I can last without working.

God Bless.....And lot of positive vibes.
