Who plans to Remain a LPN?

[LPN1974, LPN]

I am nearing retirement, so of course I don't plan on going back to school.

I graduated LPN school in 1974, and the years just ran into each other, situations in my life changed, and before I knew it, here I am, 52 years old, a grandmother of 2, divorced, still an LPN, but I don't regret it at all. However, I am ready to get out of nursing. My job is getting harder by the day, and I get so discouraged. We work short all the time, and I can't get everything done like I want to. I do the best I can, but working with 2 nurses when we should have 3 is getting old. I'm just tired of it.

Soon as I get in my 28 I'm getting out of nursing.
