I don't personally know any, but there is an RN here in town who owns/manages several daycare centers. One of her selling points is that the owner is an RN.

Recently had a 12 year reunion from nursing school, majority of us still nursing - the vast majority part-time.

Other people are now

med reps x 3

alternative medicine x 2

doctor x 1

full time mums x 3

hospital accrediation x 1

and then there are those mystery people who seemed to have vanished off the face of the earth . jax

Two of my former classmates have already left nursing and it's only been 16 months since we graduated. One didn't even bother to renew her license, but I didn't ask why.

I know a nurse that gave up nursing and now works in a florist shop. She says the money is bad, but she is so much happier, no stress.

My mother was in a mall recently and met a woman working at the food court who told her she's an RN, but couldn't take it anymore.

I know a new grad, whose been an LVN less than a year and has already left. Too bad, because she's really sharp. She's doing medical transcription from home. She says "The money is awful but so what?"

I have tried applying at a couple of vet's offices, but they never called me.

Joe, is this your career du jour list or simply viable options? I hear the Media operators make good $$$ :lol2:

When I lived in Columbus the lady that made my wedding cake was a former RN. She loved the cake making business and made good money. Think about it, a wedding cake costs hundreds of dollars and it's made of flour, sugar, butter and eggs. Sounds like a good profit margin to me.

we recently lost a great nurse to Bath & Body Works

saw her this past w/e, she looked great and is happier than I've seen her in a long time

no more "worry/stress lines" or dark circles under her eyes

she said she is making about the same amount because she is more than willing to work extra time, because she isn't so stressed and she'll have all the upcoming holidays pretty much off

she says she smells great ALL the time and gets a discount :chuckle
