Only 11,310 Days til Retirement!!!!

June 13, 2015

Cc: DON; Nurse Manager; Entire Hospital Staff

Dear Human Resources,

I regret to inform you that I will be departing Wonderland University Hospital after 30 years of service. Wonderland has provided me many opportunities to learn and grow as a Registered Nurse throughout my nursing career.

In compliance with Wonderland University Hospital Pension Plan I intend to retire effective June 1, 2046.

While I look forward to enjoying retirement on the sunny beaches of Dominican Republic, I will miss working with the company and all of my colleagues. If I can be of any assistance during this transition please............________#####**

Dr. SoandSo: "Crap!!!!"

::instruments fall::

Dr. SoandSo: "Madras, we're converting to open."

Me: "😩 dammit!!"

- Hey.... A girl can daydream!

Yay! Only 14,000-infinity days until I retire...

😅Oh wait...

reminds me of the "15 year notice" commercial by State Farm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrOPZ1p0GEM

I don't know what it is but I've been thinking about retirement all week! Maybe I just need a nice vacation.

There must be plenty of nurses here thinking about their very distant retirement as well.

Slightly depressing but also nice to start planning ahead. 😃

I've got a kid who will be heading to medical school after his undergrad degree is done.

I may NEVER retire!

I just calculated my time left: 12,437 days until I can retire with full SS benefits. Sigh. And I've already been searching for the overseas retirement home.

Not interested in retirement. I love what I do 😊

So do I! But I'd love to be able to do it on my OWN terms...and do something else when I feel like it, too

Oooh, you need to adopt my motto: The Undergrad is on me. Any further education is on YOU, with respect for your future earning capacity.

Agreed! I love what I do and will most likely still work after retirement! I want to do it because I can not because I have to financially.

LOL..it's a good motto! Only thing is I've long told him that I expect to be in a really nice retirement home in my later years .

We plan to help as much as is reasonable. :)

[NicuGal, MSN, RN]

I can go out in 3 months...30 years in. But if I stay another year it is another $1000 per month. No brainer. I love my job, but will be retiring, hopefully, to informatics :)

I have about 3,900 days to work until I'm 65, I just want to slow down the clock.

[llg, PhD, RN]

Approximately 1800 days until Medicare. That's my milestone. At that point, I should be able to retire -- and maybe do some part-time professional stuff "just for fun."

I have too many to think about. I am curious how healthcare is going to change over my career. I have already started my 401k so hopefully I can afford to go PRN or part time somewhere when I "retire".
