| nurses I've noticed there seems to be a lot of nurses here. Are we wired to take care of others, both canine and human? Is it habit caring for others or do we need the unconditional love from our babies? |

| My theory is that wherever a lot of multi generational women gather, there are bound to be a lot of nurses. In my mother's day, if women even worked outside the home, they were either nurses or teachers. Nowadays many young women and men are going into healthcare for job security in an unstable economy. I'm proud to be an RN myself, in fact an ICU CCRN. |

| That's fantastic! I've been an ICU nurse for 3 years now and can appreciate everything behind your statement. In fact, it's RNs like you with all your deep knowledge and experience that inspire me greatly. I know exactly how hard you've worked to save countless lives. I'm positive that retirement for you is hugely deserved!! |

| I've been a nurse for 33 years now, 26 in the NICU. I've worked as a traveler fo about half that time and see a lot of very good young nurses coming up. And I am ready for them to take over. Unfortunately until recently I haven't stayed in one place long enough to retire yet. I am so ready to stay home with my fuzzbutts. |

| I am a nurse as well, 21years critical care and 6 yrs counseling HIV+ inmates. I got my first pet ever (a Yorkie) Christmas 2012. His name is Micah and I have gone crazy over him! He is so smart! He can ring a doorbell to go outside and another to let me know he is ready to come in. |

| Are we all too old for floor nursing or did we just find our niche? I personally think floor nursing is for the young. |

~~~~~ So many nurses here that I wasn't previously aware of! I'm always amazed how many nurses are on YT. My bach degree is in nursing...I went back to college mid-twenties and graduated in nursing at age 28. When I got out of school, I managed a clinic for about a year. Then, I went into bio-med (implantable pacers and defibs) with Medtronic, so I worked in the corporate world for about 8 years, moving up the ladder. And wow, lemme tell you fellow nurses - the corp world is a whole 'nother animal. Right now I'm not in nursing and I miss it, but I don't think I want to get back into nursing, per se. Maybe some other branch of healthcare, but I'm not sure what.
