[quote=Anonymous]How hard is it? I'm a 50 year old RN with a bachelor's degree looking for a job that I can stay at until retirement (I plan on/hope I am physically able to work until my late 60's). I'm burned out on hands on/clinical/hospital work and am looking for something Monday-Friday with decent benefits, good work/life balance and stability. I've done RN case management before and am open to doing it again but I'm also open to leaving nursing entirely as long as I can get a job with decent pay (starting salary at minimum in the mid 80ks per year). I made $110k last year as a hospital RN in the Baltimore area but that involved occasionally picking up shifts/working OT-it's not money that can be counted on as our patient census and staffing needs fluctuate. I realize I most likely won't be making that much when I leave this job.

At this point in my life I'm fine with doing work that's kind of boring in return for stability, reduced stress and a 40 hour or less work week. I don't need to move up the ladder-I want to do good work and be done at the end of the day.  Any thoughts or feedback would be greatly appreciated-thanks! [/quote]
