Well, I never wrote that resume. My spirit is dampened. I called all the Hospitals in Charlotte, and NC Board of Nursing. Although I license is current and the Board states no further education needed the hospitals require a refresher course. It enconpasses 2 month of on the floor med/sure, and maybe 2 or more of internet classes. The Board says a hospital can set any standard it wants so I guess nursing is out for me as I could never withstand the stress of med/surg all day full time. And to boot the hospitals require fulltime employment for a few months before parttime or as needed work. Now does this make sense. I have Disability and am trying to reenter a field. The least stress possible would make sense right? Fewer hours, work up as tolerated. So as far as i can see our system is flawed. Keep them on Disability, don't let them work. And there's a nursing shortage. And I'm 59 with back problems! Go figure. Fondly, Phillipa
