Does anyone know of someone that was successful at leaving this profession and still have a nice salary? I'd like something with less stress and that would allow for a healthier lifestyle and overall higher quality of life.

Nope, but please let me know if you find the answer. Been trying to get out for years. Mental and physical health has gone completely downhill since becoming a nurse.

PS Case management is extremely stressful too. Even working from home. Been there done that.
