(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.
Travis
1-800-856-5457 ext 2082
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
