  1. Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

    Your words resonate to me! After spending 40 years greatly devoted to my career in Nursing many chapters in your story are my own! No support from management, back-stabbing, bullied....it all happened causing me to retire 4 years earlier than planned...

  3. Retired nurses responding to Covid-19

  8. Would you refuse to care for a COVID-19 patient?

  10. Almost A Year

    I hear that! Before I left I did have a great deal of pain, often limping on my way to the car by the 3rd shift. And letting the RN liscence go is going to be very difficult. We worked so hard to achieve it!
