I am moving out of nursing as we know it.... and am involved in a virtual franchise. Marketing a whole food supplement and having a ball! To truly help people is awesome! No night shifts, no nursing shortage inflencing my decisions, no mandatory meetings, no union garbage! It is great! AND...in about 2 more years thats all I will be doing!

ANTIQUES!!
I'd go to auctions all over the place and buy, trade, sell to other "old stuff lovers". (I'd keep all the best stuff!)

I too like the coffee house idea - but it would be an Elvis Presley Coffee House!

Ew. I worked in a library for 7 years before becoming a nurse. The people were nice, but I found being surrounded by books wasn't much fun when I couldn't read them because they weren't paying me to do that.
I would be a dog trainer.

I'd open a bookstore coffeeshop, with a large deck where customers can sit and enjoy fresh air and a great mountain or ocean view.

Nursing has become my 3rd profession, and my one true love. If I had to stop today, I think I'd become a vagabond student, taking courses of interest, exploring, learning. And I'd bring a double espresso latte with me!!

Hoolahan, can't you tell them you want to be a medical librarian?

I left 3 months ago to be a stay-at-home mom. Never been happier. I am studying nutrition in my "spare time" and someday might go for an advanced degree in that field. In the mean time, I'll keep my license active as long as I can to fall back on, but I have no desire to return to the stress while the kids are little.

For fun, I'd be a "professionsal student"..taking a class just because it sounded interesting to me :)
For other fun I'd open a quilt shop and rubber stamp store.
Oh, all those colors and textures!!!
