New here, but not to nursing

[HLJRN]

I have been an RN for 10 years. I have both BSN and MSN degrees, and teach at a private college in the BSN program. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my job, in spite of the never ending work and poor pay. I also work as an agency nurse, picking up prn shifts. This second job keeps me in touch with bedside nursing, and I love the chance to interact with patients. It also helps pay my rent. I teach med-surg and critical care, and my favorite area to work is cardiac care.

I am married and have 2 beautiful children, one dog, and two cats, all of whom I love passionately. I guess that's me in a nutshell. (And there are a lot of people out there who would readily agree that I AM a nut!)
