Just a general type of question. Since a lottery is really nothing more than a tax on people who are bad at math, I know I'll never win since playing is the first key.
But.... lets say you did win big- who/would anyone here want continue nursing on a part time basis? Considering with big winnings you could live comfortably, likely live and have the ability to work where you wanted to, except less hours, perhaps a different nursing specialty, etc.
Another thought- would anyone continue on to medical school to pursue an MD, DO, etc. but haven't due to student loans and other big associated costs.
Lastly, for those who are burned out and only in the field because it's money within your trained area, what would you do to keep busy?
if i win the lottery, i'll pursue my dream to be a lawyer or probably a legal nurse consultant or probably teach either students or be a full time diabetic educator.
Hmmm, let's see..yeah I would finish out the year....take the time to get my finance in order...pay off a few debts....invest as much as I could the first year...and once I could afford to live off the passive income of my investments....What job? :biere:
Hmmm! but say you DID win the lottery......would you do the same but in a different country, to experience all that life has to give????????
i actually would, i really would(flabergasting myself), wow i really love nursing that much. thanks for asking the ques u just opened my eyes to how much of a nrsg junkie i really am, oh well guess its a good thing. i probably won't work any overtime or stress myself too much!

your opinion might change after a few more years under your belt.
If the winning amount were a couple of million say around 3-5 or greater I'd quit as fast as I could. Would give 2 wks notice but then not follow through on it and leave that instance. I'd take my license and put it in a frame and I'd sit in my recliner and point to it and tell my kids/friends that I was once a lowlly finacially challenged nurse who had to put up with way too much crap/abuse from simple minded people who intern had more control over my career than I did. No longer would I have to litsen to childish sly comments from egotistical doc's, take idle threats and name calling from meager blood suckin pt's or threats of career ending intimidation from "can't see beyond the bottom line bean counter" administrative types. And I'd occasionaly drive up to the hospital in my limo with hot tub and a few hooter girls and laugh at the peasent nurses going to work haaaaaaaa.....
