AFTER and DURING a shift that really " pushes my buttons " I reach way to the "bottom" (or top) of my soul and chant:

I Do---

What I want, When I want, Where I want, Why I want and with Whom I want!---and I keep-on gittin'-up!

..in the end, it was "How much longer until retirement?" Always keep your goal in mind! Save early, believe me. I've already forgotten how difficult the work world was, and it's only been 5 months since I retired, after a 45 year career in all areas, including information systems, teaching, hospital nursing, long term care, community health and finally in occupational medicine.

Retirement?

I'm ALWAYS going to keep busy

but

I don't plan on being STRESSED

NO-NO-NO!

Like the song goes,

" This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine, Let it shine, Let it shine, Let it shine."

Retirement?

Like the song goes,

" This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine, Let it shine, Let it shine, Let it shine."

That song actually has a few more bangin' verses like

"Don't let Satan blow it out, I'm gonna let it shine, Let it shine, Let it shine, Let it shine"

I like to sing that verse when a Charge RN gives me a ****** patient or when a doctor is rude. Sometimes when a patient is rude. Because I think it's funny. And I try to do what makes me laugh in life.

OP- I like this. It's true. I am here solely because I want to be. I have kept up my certification from my first career (one from which I occasionally get calls asking me to come back). It definitely works when I'm having a rough shift to keep things in perspective.
