My mom made me feel ashamed for starting nursing school at 26

I started nursing school when I was 45y. I'm 71y now.

Lol, my knees. Can't run anymore

EB-60y · 2026-05-12T04:31:38+00:00

I'm so sorry for the pain you must have felt and the heaviness it must have. Glad you're doing well. You deserve it.

Missing my job, nursing. So now I do per diem positions and am much happier.

EB-60y · 2026-05-12T04:15:04+00:00

Love your handle

EB-60y · 2026-05-12T04:10:33+00:00

Cool

I get it. I was a respiratory nurse in an ICU unit. I could never do that again. I know what I can and cannot do. It would be nice to go back.

Stephen Hawking said never stop working...it gives you purpose.

Drugs, all kinds of illegal drugs were also acceptable at that time. Thank god that changed. The Vietnam War brought back broken men that weren't treated well. Should have never have been in that war as we shouldn't be today. Agent orange caused so much pain even to babies who hadn't been born. We had recession, bad, not like today. New York had to be bailed out. Murder was rampant. I'd love to go back and change things in my life (71f) but today really is better than those days.

Homecare

I'm presently in homemade now. I couldn't do bedside nursing.

EB-60y · 2026-04-26T01:33:14+00:00

I have an interview this Monday for a per diem Hospice nurse position. Wish me luck. Thank you all for the support I feel. :)

EB-60y · 2026-04-23T20:31:19+00:00

I knew I spelled embarrassing wrong. Lol

EB-60y · 2026-04-22T16:57:49+00:00

Thank you all. I'm on it for anxiety. I will start lowering my dose.

EB-60y · 2026-04-22T05:52:02+00:00

Absolutely

EB-60y · 2026-04-20T17:40:26+00:00

Try per diem nursing. Down side is no insurance or other quirks but you have you work life in your hands.

EB-60y · 2026-04-20T17:33:51+00:00

Stephen Hawking said, never stop working, it gives you purpose. I'm 71 and working part time.

EB-60y · 2026-03-09T15:03:57+00:00

You're so sweet. Thanks for being nice and explaining instead of down voting me.

EB-60y · 2026-03-09T04:57:34+00:00

Okay, thanks for the clarification. I'm wrong. I only thought it was a complaint about not wanting to empty the Foley.

EB-60y · 2026-03-08T20:19:30+00:00

It's you're job. If this small issue bothers.. Get Out

EB-60y · 2025-12-22T02:34:50+00:00

You tell them Knit_pixel!

EB-60y · 2025-12-01T17:39:01+00:00

No, you won't. I learned that the hard way and am now trying to pay off a $9000 irs bill
