Off topic-new career

[juggy38]

Well- long story short….been a nurse 8 years. 2 years APRN…specialty Mental
Heath.

I hung it up today. I’m tired of taking care of humans. I’ve had a decent life, some trauma and dark days. But that made me good at my job.

But a few weeks ago, I decided it’s time
To take care of myself and make ME happy. Nursing gave me so much…but it took a toll…emotionally and mentally. Healthcare is a business. Like any other, just our product is services to the human body. I’m tired of hospitals making decisions based on the black and red on the income statement. We don’t heal humans, we profit from billing insurance.

I have been working as a Neufit personal trainer/therapist. I love it. Training people wanting to be heathy and be pain free.

Part of me is terrified….the money will be drastically different in the beginning.
And what if I fail? What about all those years of school? Is that wasted time? But I think being happy is more important…right? Going through life…a slave to work?

But I did my Duty….I helped many sick and down individuals, mostly vets….someone will take my place.

New beginnings.

Congratulations on making the move to get into work that makes you happier.

Years ago I quit a government job after 5 years to start my own business, a lot of people told me it was a terrible mistake because government jobs have such a good retirement, and benefits, my reply was why work somewhere I wasn't happy making a crappy wage just to have a good retirement when I'm 60, I wanted to enjoy my life and earn a better wage and plan my own retirement. Those same people told me I would fail and now there the same ones telling me they can't believe how business has grown and they don't know what they would do without our business in town. I believed it would work and 15yrs later I am so glad I made the move.
