6 questions to ask if you want to return to nursing

Question:

Dear Counselor,

I wanted to become a nurse since I was a little girl. I graduated with my LPN four years ago when I was 20 and left nursing after only a year and a half. I was terrible. I didn’t take the work seriously and although I wasn’t fired, no-one tried to stop me from leaving. Now that I’ve matured, I realize how serious the job is and I want to do it again. Should I go back? Can I go back? And finally, how can I go back? Thank you. Ashlee.

8 Volunteering Ideas for Nurses

Question:

Dear Counselor,

I graduated from nursing school with my LVN about 8 months ago. I can only find part-time work - there aren't many nursing jobs around where I am - so I have a lot of free time. I was thinking about volunteering, but I'm trying to find something that kind of combines my nursing with other things that need to be done. What types of volunteering may help me in the long run, as well as keep me busy? PS, it doesn't have to be volunteer nursing in a hospital or something.

Thank you. Cathryn
