[QUOTE="judi, post: 178705, member: 148"] I certainly would advise returning to school - got my masters at 45. I would not endorse choosing a field because of our children. I'm an advanced practice nurse - have been a nurse since way before we began having our problems with our son. In some ways, it has been nice to know the medications, txs, dxs, etc., that the counselors, physicians, psychiatrists are discussing. However, on the flip side, I'm too close to the situation to be of real help and I would never ever choose to do psychiatric nursing. I worked in an inner city level one trauma center ER for 10 years during the time our difficult child was at his worst. I dealt with the homeless, mentally ill every single shift. Because of my son, I have compassion for the drug addicts, the homeless and the mentally ill. However, also because of my son, I feel too much to be of much use to them. This is why I work only very part time in the ER nowadays and work very full time in nephrology - lol. [/QUOTE]
