Welcome back. It's warmer by you than by me (Boston), where it's, I think, up to a balmy +6.

I've not looked at this site for a very long, long time. Inner Demons, fight'n the Army, bitter towards Army Medical Dept (especially Ortho & Nurse Corps), and overall reluctance to rejoin (civilian) nursing. In the ANC, I was a critical care nurse. For whatever reason, since my 15 month deployment in Iraq, mission med care of over 22K detainees, I've never been the same ... you think MasCal 7 dead over 70 injured was easy?!?... Anyway, messed up L shoulder & right elbow, and (mild) PTSD (w/severe ST memory loss) the Army found me UNFIT. Kind of missing the OR (3yrs scrub tech, 5yrs OR RN... along w/1yr telemetry - 8yrs ICU). Very close to home is a Day Surgery Center but hesitant to apply in fear of failure. After all, the AMEDD labeled me as such.
Appreciate those that care & those that think I'm pitiful... find a bridge AND JUMP!

Welcome back, bro! You know I'll always be there for ya. I sometimes wonder what 'the powers that be' are thinking after the way they treat those of you on the front line. (Will explain to you later....)
And if anyones gonna be doing any jumping, we are DOING IT TOGETHER!
Great to see you out there again! Don't hesitate to apply for that day surgery center pal, because you have awesome experience and they would do well to have you. Screw the uniformed demons and their pronouncements because you know better.

Nice to have you back! Thank you for your service and don't hesitate to apply for jobs. I know several nurses who were either "Surplused" or deemed otherwise unfit who are fine skilled nurses and and asset to the facilities where they work.
Peace and Namaste
