Thank you everyone for responses.

I find myself still really struggling to decide where to go and what to do.

For the first time in a long time I'm enjoying spending time with my kids and running my house the way I want. My big kids are getting into school and school activities and my "baby" is such a learning sponge I can barely keep up with her. However, I know there will come a day when we'll need more money, and I didn't go to school for nuthin'! (Besides, I'm beginning to miss nursing!)

I think starting in the Med/Surg unit really does seem overwhelming to me, but it's true that I wouldn't have to start at full time. And I really did enjoy my experience on a telemetry unit during my senior courses. But also as Marachne pointed out, how fair is it to a unit that I sign up knowing I'd leave sooner than later?

At anyrate, I think I'll be looking for somewhere with an excellent mentorship program as I think I'll be pretty rusty from not practicing for so long.

Again, Thank you all for your experience/opinions!
