Annah Kareal Enthusiast Registered: 01/22/10 Loc: Pennsylvania	I was thinking about going back to school and start my transition there as I heard it could be somewhat easier. Does anyone know if the medical field is a lot more tolerant with transgenders? Even if you go FT girl in the medical field? Anyone have any experience with this? I was thinking maybe like an RN or a Radio something something :P Also, if anyone transitioned as a nurse I know there must some roadblocks...like your state cert exams? Must be hard taking the exams as Rob but being a nurse as Kareal. Can anyone shed some light on this? Any medical girls out there?

Is there a way you can have her email me about this? XXXXXX That makes me so happy!! Hmm, I don't know about the email thing 'cause I don't even have her email addy. But yes, everyone knows her 'cause she's trans and doesn't keep it a secret. She always tells us stories about how she can't even walk down a hospital wing without someone calling out her name, and she usually has to just say, "Hi" to them 'cause she doesn't know there name(s), but EVERYBODY knows hers. BTW- After my SRS, I'm finishing school for nursing, too! Edited by qRachelp (02/03/10 03:28 PM) _________________________ Around the world and back again.

That's what it's like here in my work place. I feel like a goddamn celebrity. However, it gets old fast. I'm probably not gonna last another year before I get sick of being "that lovely tranny".

It did indeed get very old very fast.

TheLoneWolf Frequent Flyer Registered: 03/25/06 Loc: Indiana	My plan is to transition in school, and go into psychology. My plans, should they fall through, is to start HRT during my last year at community college, start going FT sometime during my several years at college working towards a doctorate, and then SRS as a graduation gift to myself. It is nice though hearing of acceptance in the medical field. _________________________ Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein
