Default Re: Do you love your job?

I love what I do. As a nurse I love helping people. However, working for someone else I hate. Nursing is a very hostile, high stress job and NO I DO NOT RECOMMEND. For the education I have and what I do I am grossly underpaid. However, medicare just gave the nurse practitioner's billing rights. So I am in school and plan my own practice. I am successful at nursing, but only on my terms. I prefer the elderly and my specialty is geriatrics. The elderly have calmed down and are not rude and demanding. I live in Michigan and will move to Oregon or Washington for the hospital priveldges. I want my OWN practice.

Bruce (software owner and financial planning site): I could tell you knew more than the average person. I hope you will keep us informed. I will be responding to another area of this site soon related to the consumer credit. Thank you for joining us. I say "if God gave you knowledge, He expects you to use it and mentor others". There is a place in heaven for you for mentoring us. Thank you.

Thought they used the free beta testers these days, lots of people I know are in on that, they get a beta version free but no pay.

Default Re: Do you love your job?

I absolutely LOVE being retired! :-) In my other life, I worked as a secretary, bookkeeper, office worker, went back to school and became a CNA, an LPN and an RN, and at the last a Care Cordinator in a convalescent center. Only the last job did I really love and only for a short time then things changed and it wasn't fun any more. But not once was I ever in a job outside my home that I wouldn't have left in a heartbeat if I suddenly had won the lottery or for some other reason could have stayed home. I was never career minded. I loved being a mother and home and would have preferred to stay home with my children. Now the children are gone but at least I am back home (since 1995) and I really love it!
