(16) Hey Gayle, how's retirement. Do you miss
working? Are you bored yet?
Finally, some easy questions. Easier
answers: GREAT!! NO!!
NO!!
As you know, our website
is intended to do anything we can to alleviate
the global nurse shortage.
And yet, I still have people asking me if that shortage is real, and as bad as we
indicate.
Well, here's a quick quip to set the story straight.
I retired last February on a Friday------party, presents, food........the whole
thing.
Three days later, MONDAY MORNING, I received a call from the corporate level of my
previous employment asking if I would consider doing some "troubleshooting" and
training at their various sites.
"Why not?" thought I. "I'm gonna have so much time on my hands, it'll be good to
stay a little busy."
That was then.....this is now.
I'm just home from a busy day at the office........helping a new social worker with
her orientation. (I've averaged way more than one day a week back in
harness......and could spend a lot more time if I wanted)
When I got home there was a message from someone named Travis. He wanted to know if
I was interested in any of the nursing positions he had available---locally or
nation-wide.
His is about the third or fourth such call that I have received in the last few
months. I won't be returning any of these calls; so please feel free.

I will post any additional calls I receive. Tell 'em Gayle sent you.
Tonite Fred and I will have to rework next month's schedule. We're gonna get away
for a few days and enjoy the fall colors in Tennessee and North Carolina. I love it
when we can combine work and pleasure. Two of the legal cases I have been reviewing
are coming to trial in October; and I am being called as an expert witness in
both.
You guessed it. One's near Knoxville, Tennessee.........the other just outside
Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina.
So, a couple of quick points. (1) The nurse shortage is REAL. And, (2) Stay in
shape. You'll need all of your strength if you plan to retire as a nurse.
All the best,
Gayle and Fred
There were so many questions about traveling nurses that we
decided to include an entire section

ME?
