I was wondering:rolleyes:

Would you still do this if you won the lottery?????:confused:

I was wondering would I still do this if I won the lottery. I went to play the power ball lottery today, because today was just awful and I figured why not play the lottery. The jack pot is 60 million.

As I sat and pondered how I would spend my winnings. I wondered could I really not ever nurse again???

I think I would still be a nurse somehow it is in my blood part of me. Although with a 60 million dollar bank account behind me I would definately say when, where and how I would be a nurse.

What about you????? What would you do????

Specializes in Med Surg.

After I gave my 10%, I'd set up trusts for my nephews and granddaughter, probably fund a nursing scholarship or two in my area, and give to the local junior hockey club.

Then it would be my turn. After a trip to Finland, my husband and I would quit work and he'd be a full-time musician. I would manage the band and then be their road-trip nurse.

Question is how long it would take for your coworkers to find out and ban you from making extra "spending money" lol

i'd still nurse, although i'll probably set up an institution of some sort that gives free medical services and manage it.

or maybe, a travelling/practicing nurse. id love to go to different places and offer free services while im at it.

the money, id probably just give 3/4 of them to my mom (she''ll budget it until the nth generation of our family) and the remaining 1/4 will be used solely by me... so thats what im going to use for my free services/ charity.

I don't think I'd be able to work here in the States.

Where there's money, there's lawsuits.

So I'd probably do volunteer nursing work in other countries. Or buy a hospital and set it up so that nurses ran it. ;)

Along with the usual fantasies of getting out of debt, building my dream home, and helping out my extended family, I would give a big fat donation to the Children's Hospital of MI whose wonderful staff treated my daughter's cancer (in remission 6 years and counting!). And to the Ronal McDonald House that I called home for so long...I would always remember that there are others who need the same help our family once did.

Specializes in ER/Acute Care.

I'm playing the lottery with some coworkers and decided to fart around here to see if the idea had been visited.

What would you all do?

I would do something to help enhance the lives of disadvantaged children, and maybe get a Doctorate degree. Pay off our home, help out mine and my husbands family, and set aside some for our kids.

But I guess this may never happen that easy because I've never played the lottery, and probably never will.

I would never strap on my scrubs again. You really don't strap on scrubs, but it sounded good.

The closest I would get to nursing would be to visit allnurses.com

Also, if my state would allow it, I would keep one million for myself and my husband, then share the rest in $1,000,000 increments.

If you see such a thing in the news, you'll know it's me.:D

Let's not try to act like a saint here lol. I would quit nursing in a HEARTBEAT. Maybe volunteer. Start my own business. Start a family. Travel the world!
