    Smile New here

    Hi! I am new here, so just feeling my way around.

    I am 44 years old, live in Illinois with my husband and almost 12 year old son. I have been an RN since 1985 (wow I am old!) and obtained my BSN in 2004.

    I have worked my entire career in a small rural hospital as a general med/surg nurse, ER, Supervisor, ICU and now Case Management. So I have been around the block a few times.

    This seems like a great place to network and benchmark!

    Welcome aboard. once you get use to the flow of this forum it is smooth sailing. I am a RN in Macon Georgia but soon I will be living in Perth Western Australia. Naw, you are not old . You are experienced.

    Cheers

    Well seasoned is a GOOD thing! I guess it really does sound better than OLD as dirt or something.

    Just think of our life experiences and the stories we can tell!

    Welcome!!! I'll be 51 tomorrow, and I have my own opinion on aging......"better old than dead" (at this point in time, anyway). Hope to see you posting often!
