i also know many nurses that have let the bedside. I have been rn for 25 yrs and i have had it. now doing case mangement in hospital 3 days a week. very stressful but not hard on the back. i also do a fun job and i am always looking for other nurses that want to make money still with pt's but on your own. i am working with the diabetic shoe bill . set my own hrs own pace no overhead meet lots of people in senior centers etc can't keep up with all the work out there. would love to share info with anyone looking to work on their own pay is great. i will neverr never go back to bedside even though i am sad about that just can't do any more . anyone interested feel free to e-mail me on here or at
