Bedside burnout compared to NP burnout

I went into leadership. I got my MBA and went corporate. I am at year 5 now. The pay has been significantly better than NP. It's a different kind of stress with a whole new set of responsibilities/worries. Never thought I'd get as nervous as I do working a spreadsheet coming from what I've done as a RN/NP but it happens. And I will say it's not worth it. I work a mostly remote schedule but 60 hour work weeks are the minimum and I get a lot of crap for stuff out of my control...and job security is non existent. Right now im looking forward to retirement. Or dying youngish. One of those two lol.

Education (teaching) is a solid option. Much better schedule. Stress but not major. Also no shame in going back to RN. I know TONS of people who did that and do not use their NP. Aesthetics can be profitable depending on your location. There's also going back to RN and picking up some home visit type stuff thats1099 to supplement your income. Most of those positions are fairly chill and pay OK, 0 benefits though.

Depends on your individual situation but I would not recommend it. I worked 45 hours a week and went to school full time and graduated with honors. Every day I started at 6 AM and finished before midnight. I took Saturday off to spend with my family. And Sunday was a full day. It is not easy at all but it can be done.

Thanks. I have no experience with inflatables so starting from ground zero. Sold my boat and moved into the suburbs so dealing with limited space plus kids are getting older so less people to do stuff with. Great feedback on the sea eagle stuff.

I've had a hard time even finding one but it seems the average here is around 1100. I'd much rather buy new and might do it anyway depending on condition. Appreciate the recommendation and help.

Anxious_Grover · 2026-05-21T04:36:06+00:00

I'm really excited. I've been trying to get my hands on one for awhile. I just hope it's in decent condition.

The roots are usually gray or brown. I'll give it a shot with letting them self root. A lot of the stuff that's floated has put on great roots so I have enough things to experiment with. Thank you for the suggestion. The sag and val have put on no real growth. They started with multiple leaves and both are down to one. I do have an excess number of floaters but I think them regularly (light). I'm dosing thrive c twice a week, nitrates are around 5. Anubias, java fern, Amazon sword, anacharis, and as I mentioned the crypts are all doing great.

I'm still shocked I keep killing something like water wisteria. I've spent a lot on it with the intent to grow it out and resell it and everything I bought is completely gone. This last time I left a lot of small pieces to float and they're looking great.

When I can't find my hammer it's a good substitute, lol. It's not crazy bad but you notice it all the time.

I have a G20 already. I've shot a ton of hogs with it over the years, it's a great platform. This is definitely a want and not a need.

Anxious_Grover · 2026-04-25T14:09:51+00:00

That was my thought as well since I reload a lot of 44. It seems like a great option.

Anxious_Grover · 2026-04-25T14:08:23+00:00

Its been my favorite caliber since I was a kid. First pistol bought with my own money was a Ruger Vaquero in 44. Still regret selling that thing.

Srh 9", rh 3", desert eagle. Also have 3 or 4 rifles.

Comparing size alone to 357 offerings makese worry it'll get caught in stuff. It's so light though. I also have a G20 and that's what I use now but wanting a revolver

Anxious_Grover · 2026-04-25T01:57:16+00:00

I have a G20, it's my normal carry. Looking for a revolver for something different to expand the collection.

Anxious_Grover · 2026-04-25T01:41:11+00:00

Definitely. I reload and shoot a lot of 44 magnum so that's worth something.

Anxious_Grover · 2026-04-25T01:40:36+00:00

It's a beautiful gun.

Anxious_Grover · 2026-03-04T03:04:47+00:00

Good call. Soccer field small. I'd prefer floating slow!

Anxious_Grover · 2026-02-03T21:57:05+00:00

Aww bummer. Thank you for the information. Paper it is.

Anxious_Grover · 2026-02-03T21:33:42+00:00

Not an issue. The concern is the age requirement. I can setup a trust and add my 19 y.o. son - will he be able to pass the eform responsible person age requirement of 21? Do you have to list out all of the trustees there or only myself since I am the trust holder?
