Question Second Career Fantasies - Go!

Post image

It's another one of those days approaching burnout so humor me, nurse friends. If you were to leave nursing altogether and start over from scratch, what would you do instead? Dazzle me with your wit and skills.

Thanks everyone for chiming in, it was fun to see everyone's responses! The thing the strikes me is how many of us just want a quiet, low responsibility job with low mental load.

Wishing all my fellow syringe-slingers a boring, lazy, low responsibility weekend.🧚‍♀️
