What if you were in love with and going to marry a wealthy doctor and he told you that he would rather you quit working and just look after the household/family affairs and basically do what you want to do?
Would you quit nursing and just pursue your hobbies? Would you work PRN/part-time or just quit altogether? Would you go to grad school just for the heck of it?
What would you do if you had this opportunity and what would you advise someone who had this opportunity to do?
Specializes in Correctional, Home Care, Clinic and LTC.
i would quit so fast your head would spin, hire a part time housekeeper and buy the equipment for my ceramic work, and other arts and never look at a hospital or ltc facility in my life. but i would keep my license and do some part time volunteer work in low income clinics:paw: janet josh lvn (student for bsn)
Knowing how hard nurses work, if I were rich and married to a nurse, I'm sure I'd offer my spouse the option out if she/he desired. I'd consider it an act of love to offer them that out. :)
And that's exactly the case. He (the doctor) knows that this friend of mine is stressed all the time (working as a nurse) and he tells her he does not see a point in her being stressed when she does not have to be. He tells her that he wants her to enjoy her life and do whatever she wants to do.
I think she should do just that, but I think she feels hesitant to just quit nursing altogether b/c it's so much hard work to become a nurse. But who knows, maybe all of that hard work was for her to end up as a nurse and meet him, who she says is the love of her life. Guess it's worth it when you look at it like that.
