I no longer do direct patient care

Published

I'm now in the computer area and earn more than the starting RN's. For no life and death responsibility, no hands-on patient care, basically, no responsibility for anything but electronic paper work.

Now, I know that I have a very specific and rare skill set, but something's wrong with this picture.

Gee. Why is there a nursing shortage?

Specializes in midwifery, NICU.

I'm looking at a working life near its end and wondering what it would have been like had I started out as a non-screw-up.

It's also February in the dark, cold, snowy mountains. I'll feel better come April.

And thanks, everyone!
