I am a 40 year old mother of four, with a wonderful, funny, supportive husband of 17 years. I have a Bachelor's degree in Nursing from The Ohio State University (Go Bucks!), and have worked as an RN for almost 19 years. I recently started a new venture as a Legal Nurse Consultant, working with lawyers on medical cases. I give them the time and resources to plan their strategies by organizing boxes of records, summarizing them, defining terms and researching medical issues. My business is growing slowly, and I'm very excited. I'm still working at the hospital in the ER to supplement my income, but hope to transition to working only at home by the fall of 2008.

Best thing about my job:

My dream job:
My dream job is to do exactly what I'm doing, only more of it, and to be recognized and respected in my field.
I had my gallbladder taken out in 2002, 3 months after I had my 4th child (yeah, not the best timing). I had a few days of discomfort from the 4 small...
I would suggest a "compromise." Maybe you could eat with your daughter 2-3 times per week and spend the other 2-3 days doing something just for you....
