I am moving out of nursing as we know it.... and am involved in a virtual franchise. Marketing a whole food supplement and having a ball! To truly help people is awesome! No night shifts, no nursing shortage inflencing my decisions, no mandatory meetings, no union garbage! It is great! AND...in about 2 more years thats all I will be doing!

ANTIQUES!!

I'd go to auctions all over the place and buy, trade, sell to other "old stuff lovers". (I'd keep all the best stuff!)

I too like the coffee house idea - but it would be an Elvis Presley Coffee House!

I'd go back to my previous job as a 9-1-1 Dispatcher.. all the adrenaline without dealing with the families face to face...lol.

Grow tomatoes like old southern gals are supposed to. Sell them by the roadside. : )

A Librarian. NO I am not prepared, I need an MLS, and I can't afford it, and no hospital will pay tuition for a non-nsg degree. And yes, to be surrounded by books, I think I would love it.

Ew. I worked in a library for 7 years before becoming a nurse. The people were nice, but I found being surrounded by books wasn't much fun when I couldn't read them because they weren't paying me to do that.

I would be a dog trainer.

I'd open a bookstore coffeeshop, with a large deck where customers can sit and enjoy fresh air and a great mountain or ocean view.

Nursing has become my 3rd profession, and my one true love. If I had to stop today, I think I'd become a vagabond student, taking courses of interest, exploring, learning. And I'd bring a double espresso latte with me!!

Run a cat sanctuary for homeless cats.

Hoolahan, can't you tell them you want to be a medical librarian?

I left 3 months ago to be a stay-at-home mom. Never been happier. I am studying nutrition in my "spare time" and someday might go for an advanced degree in that field. In the mean time, I'll keep my license active as long as I can to fall back on, but I have no desire to return to the stress while the kids are little.

For fun, I'd be a "professionsal student"..taking a class just because it sounded interesting to me :)

For other fun I'd open a quilt shop and rubber stamp store.

Oh, all those colors and textures!!!
