Hi Rachel. Again, welcome to the group. What part of the hospital field do
you work in? I am a nurse, no longer working in the hospital setting. I
work for Hospice now, and am out in the community. I enjoy my work much
more now, as I get to spend more quality time with my patients, and the
families. I am 31 and have 1 son, aged 12. Glad you found us, and find our
responses helpful. I hope you continue to find support, and even a few
friends here.

More on me; I have not yet heard about the new position I applied for, but I
am not going to hold my breath for it. There are many other changes going
on right now, there should be even more opportunites available. I wish my
pain would go away completely, but I fear that is not to be the case.
Things are not shaping up as nicely as I thought. I have strength in my arm
and hand, which is a must, but still have pain, sometimes worse than others.
I can't go through my day on medication, as I drive quite a bit in my work.
Anyone have any suggestions for non medicine pain relief, that is portable
and can be used in a vehicle? I don't ask for much do I? LOL

Hey Betsy,
I work in the admitting office at my hospital. I have been there
for 4 years now and most of the time it is great. There are the ups and
downs but that is with any job. Good luck on the job you have applied
for. I had thought about nursing a long time ago but then I got pregnant
and the doctor told me with me being diabetic that the road of pregnancy
could get rough so I was not able to go to school at that time and now
it seems I just can't get the time. I don't want my son to suffer
anymore but I want a better life for him also. Does that make sense? I
hope so. I pray that your pain will ease up and go away but I don't know
of any in vechile relief forms. Have a great night and will hopefully
talk to you soon---

Hey Rachel,

You said you are diabetic. Was that just while pregnant? I am diabetic,
diagnosed at 22 years old. I now control my blood sugars with the insulin
pump. It's wonderful. Hope all is going well with you.

Welcome, Rachel.

I'm Celia, 44, 2 daughters, 18 & 15. I live in western Canada. I've
just got back from a week long camp, and I see others have offered you
wonderful advice, to which I have nothing to add. But welcome anyway!
