"After 30 years, I'll earn my get-out-of nursing free card," that's what Karen Buley, an RN, BSN for 32 years thought. However, when it came down to leaving the profession she had known for so long, she couldn't.
Karen was creating a collection of nurse essays for a book to help lessen her guilt of leaving nursing, when at a 2005 education conference, she was struck by the question " Who will answer the call lights?"
Now, instead of using the book to exit her nursing career, she is now using it to inspire it.
With an overflow of essay submissions, Karen has remembered what first brought her to the nursing field; sharing new life.
According to the U.S News & World Report, "registered nurse" is one of the top 50 careers for 2011. This is due to the expected growth in the profession in the next decade.
Therefore, if you are considering leaving the nursing field, think twice!
