I also am a retired RN. I worked in just about every area except surgery. Had an accident, hurt my feet, so I just retired. Loving staying home with my self-employed hubby.

I'm a medical transcriptionist. I work from home. With no boss standing over my shoulder I daydream about quilting some but don't tell him that.

You are the second woman I've met on a board who is working towards the same career goal. Interesting.

That's ironic...when I started college in 1992 (at 33) I didn't know what I wanted to be, so I took an aptitude test. When it came back I was shocked to hear that I was best suited to be a Funeral Director! I asked where that answer came from and was told that I had very high organizational capabilities along with a high degree of compassion. I passed and got my degree in business administration. Now, at 51, I wish I had listened to them :oops:

Do you do Hospice too? It's a very satisfying branch of nursing.

Our branch doesn't have hospice, but the Houston branch does. I worked oncology years ago. I have to say that working with dying pts and their families was the fufilling nursing job I ever had.
