Duane Said:

I am (hopefully) moving to Connecticut from the UK and want to know about nursing here?

We Answered:

I understand that if you can secure employment with the State, they are high paying jobs. Also, what I have learned about work visas (through a friend) is that working in research hospitals that require your level of experience may expedite the process.

Armando Said:

I dont know if i should still be on citalopram still?

We Answered:

As it seems you just slipped into forgetting to take this medication and you found you were managing without it, sounds as if you have improved.
Why not see your doctor, explain what happened, talk through how you feel.
Explain about starting a new job and decide, with the help of your doctor, if you may need to take an antidepressant to help you for a while...
Explain your symptoms (PMS) discuss if you need help with that..
Though so many women suffer during the monthly cycle from hormonal problems.
Although it can be a difficult time, most women "put up" with these feelings. Only you know how you are effected by this, if you feel you need help you should ask your doctor, see what advice he/she gives you..
By seeing your doctor, explaining everything, this may at least put your mind at rest (and the nurse) about the fact that you stopped taking citalopram yourself...

Good luck with your job
Sounds as if you have a clear and positive outlook.
I wish you well...

What job in health care would suit me?

We Answered:

I don't know much about the careers you listed, but the best way to really find what career is best for you is to research as much as you can about th ecareer and if possible, job shadow someone in the field to what their typcial day is like.

Nursing is a great field, but you're totally right, you have be sure you'll love it before you devote all that time and money into nursing school. Again, I say job shadow! Especially for nursing, this will give you great insight into whether or not you could do this on a daily basis.

Here are some careers in health care specifically to consider:

I am in school for Diagnostic Medical Sonography, where you perform ultrasounds. We don't only do "baby" (prenatal) ultrasounds, but also abdominal, pelvic, breast, neonatal neuro., and others. The most prevalent degree type is an 18 mos- 2 yr Associate's degree. Here is a site with more info: http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos273.htm
And look here for an *accredited" program: http://www.caahep.org/Find-An-Accredited…
