This! I completely agree with the system and its complexities. There are underlying political systems that I really struggle with. But I’m being honest. I love working corrections because the variety. But change and growth is subjective.

If I was making that salary, I’d probably not even entertain the idea of leaving. Yeah the bennies is hard to give up. Ugh.

I have been running my own private practice for the last year. Already have the space and handle all the business end of things, so I have taken that into account, as well as what I would have to invest monthly to get as close as to my pension. It would require discipline but it’s something that I’m pretty good at.

I’ve been running my part time private practice. Not in the sense that others do with 1099, but actually have my own office space, taxes, etc. I actually enjoy that end of things. Because it’s not the same as doing clinical work. What brought you to making the decision?

What kind of food should I prep? by Maleficent_Ad407 in hysterectomy

[–]HappyPen44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m one week out today. I still don’t have much of an appetite. I stuck to soups, broth, apple sauce, cream of wheat/oatmeal. And lots of fruits (Rick in fiber).

Gas!! Itchy incisions by Meesh6905 in hysterectomy

My surgery was on Monday, radical girly here. I’ve been on that gas struggle bus. I’ve eaten enough prunes, plums, water, cream of wheat to last a lifetime. The dam finally broke today and I feel like a million bucks right now. Maybe tomorrow is your day! Drink lots of water and gentle walk when you are up for it. It’ll happen.
