I, too, am in my 50's. I left bedside over 7 years ago. Since then I have done telephone triage, which I did enjoy. As with any other nursing situation, management always turns what could be a very pleasant career move into a constant battle of will and wit. I have gotten "burned out" in several past nursing experiences. One of the least stressful options, is to work for an agency, which gives you the choice of where and when you want to work. I've been there, done that as well. I recently left a triage advice center after 6 years because I just got fed up with being micromanaged and manipulated by management. That is when I decided that I wanted to work for myself. So at 55, I decided to start an internet business. Although, I have signed on with a large company, who hosts my website, I am given total autonomy in how I want to run it my online business. Eventually, I will be able to just work from home, and use my nursing skills and experience to give nursing advice as well as healthcare advice from my site. If you like, you can email me for more information.
