In a time where our economy is shaky, government is uncertain, and a customer service driven terminally ill health care system, we all tend to wonder out of fear and anxiety what our field will be like in the future.
Great post! Nursing Homes for Nurses only. No doubt about that! However, can you imagine the nightmare of actually working there? Bad karma indeed! In one way you do have to be grateful that we do have the opportunity to actually HAVE a fairly good paying job for the next 10-20 years. Lots and lots of people are not in our postion at all.
Let's face it ladies and gents, at the rate we're going at I don't believe many of us will be retiring as soon as we'd like to as our careers continue on unnaturally.
Many years from now I can easily see the following:
In all seriousness, I do worry tremendously about never being able to retire, working until I'm literally too feeble physically or mentally to work anymore, and about the general state of health care. However, I do find that making light of it makes the worry less intense. Please feel free to add your vision of what futuristic health care will be like!!!
