[quote=Anonymous]I went back but quit after 4 months and am very happy (currently) as a SAHM to a 2.5 yr old and 3 month old. BUT...and this is big...my career was grueling with long hours, lots of travel, demanding clients and billable hours. It was not compatible with kids and very hard to have a flexible schedule short of going out on my own and freelancing. My mom was a nurse and now many of my working mom friends are nurses. I swear they have the best of both worlds. Yes, sacrifices are overnight shifts and long 12 hour shifts but they all seem to have maintained their career while still having tons of weekday time with their kids. Stay the course! Find a different job if you have to or go per diem but my understanding is that there is a nursing shortage in pretty much every area of the country so you shouldn’t have trouble finding something. I wish I went into nursing so my decision wasn’t all or nothing. [/quote]
