When do you say, "Enough is enough?"

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I'm not sure if any of our retired collegues read these threads, but I was wondering if anyone ever thinks about retirement. When do you say to yourself, "OK, enough is ENOUGH. It's time to call it quits..." Do you wait until you've put in 30 years, or do you keep going until your legs give out and your heart stops beating "compassion for others?" :stone

You'd better watch out, Zee. A lot of places have strict rules against working whilst dead. They'd dock your salary in a heartbeat (or lack of one, I guess)

Nancy,

Arthritis in her hims is getting bad...Sounds like mine! God bless her... 72 and still working when she can. I can't even see myself doing any kind of nursing at 65! By then it'll be my turn in the "Home." God I hope not.

Smarty pants:) ok her HIPS are bad (she doesn't have a him-maybe if she did her hips wouldn't be so stiff;) )
