Hello my fellow nurses. I am an active, healthy 62 years old (don't look my age by the way) and don't plan on retiring soon. Anyone with me?

Well Lola, I'll think of you when I'm kicked back with a beer and friends in my rooftop nipa hut or lying on the beach. 'Cause none of us knows how long we have, and while the US is a great place to work, it's no place to grow old and die, no place at all.

Gee thanks for the thought, Anonymurse! Hehe.
Maybe I will stop working when I turn 70, but that is still so far.
Hmm..moving to a tropical country sounds enticing.

I am looking forward to retirement at age 62, with a great pension and healthcare benefits, and then traveling the country with my husband and doing everthing I was unable to do b/c of the job and mandatory OT.
I will be glad that I have this freedom while I am only 62 years young.

Most nurses don't work into their 60's (I don't think??).
Some days I think I'll work until retirement age of 67.
Other days I don't think I could make it to 57!
I think the money will be better the longer I work, but then the freedom to do whatever I want, whenever I want sure sounds nice.

Actually there is a nurse at my hospital who is in her mid 70's and still working as a nurse! (doesn't work on my floor though). So it's definitely possible. I plan to work part time well after my 60's...but we'll see I guess.

I'm hoping to semi-retire by 62. My plan is to ease into retirement by switching to part time ... cutting back gradually in my late 50's and early 60's.

Well, when I'm able to retire, the doorknob won't hit me in the butt on the way out!
