Specializes in School Nursing.

Just wondering just how old do you want to be when you retire from school nursing?

I am in my early 50's and I wonder what the future holds. I pray that I will stay healthy enough to continue and do this job. Tell me what you think ??

Praiser :yeah:

I'm turning 68 later this summer and I'm pretty sure next year will be my last. I'm tired! But after a summer off, who knows? When I do retire I know I'll sign on in my town as a substitute.

Good question; glad you asked. Well, I just turned 50 (April 29), and I have boys ages 13 and one soon to be 15. Sooooooooooo if I don't come upon some BIG money anytime soon..... :D it'll probably be another Hmmm 10 years or so I guess. Would be nice to live like the rich & famous :chuckle. Just had a 2 second dream/fantasy :smokin:. Nice question that I ponder at times, during my good days and my bad days. :rolleyes:

Specializes in OR, Med-Surg, Geriatrics.

I"m just starting in this field and I turn 57 this month. My daughter begins this fall at the high school where I will work 2 days a week. So I expect to be there at least 4 years. After that it will depend on whether we move to a new area when she goes to college.

I'm looking forward to my new parttime career though it may not be very longlived!
