I'm Not a Nurse, But I Play One on TV...

I have a few regrets in my life. Nothing major, but at times I really regret not attending at least a technical college of some kind. At this time in my life, it would have been extremely helpful, had I trained to be a MedTech. Our LPN has been on vacation this week and I've been responsible for several of her duties. Not easy for someone who knows squat about medicine. I've had to answer specific questions for prior authorizations, (faked my way through it) and I even got to help with a simple procedure yesterday. Not to mention having to talk to all the nurses at the local Nursing and Rehab who call countless times a day for orders and directions. (Sure wish I could be paid her salary while she's out. heh heh)

Some have suggested I go to school now, and that it's never too late. I beg to differ. My poor brain and my old body just wouldn't be able to handle that kind of stress. Just the thought of taking a test sends me into a panic. But the good thing is, the LPN will be back on Monday.... Yaaaay.

You would do fine in school! I imagine it would be less pressure on you now b/c all your kids are out of the house and so it wouldn't be an absolute must that you go back...it could be like a hobby at this point.

I think you could do it! Pray about it and maybe God will lead you in that direction.
