I have worked day shift, mid -shift and many night shifts. Grueling, hard work. I stopped practicing in 2011 and, as I had my Real Estate license as well as nursing license, continued to manage 51 apartments, started learning and doing all the books for a cattle and a hog business my husband was a partner in, opened and oversaw a restaurant 100 miles away, managed our 170+ acre farm and was a mother and wife. Needless to say, I worked myself silly and burned out. We shed the cattle business, hog business and the restaurant, and began “flipping” houses, and I raise a few litters of working line German Shepherds. Again, lots of physical work.

About a year and a half ago, I decided I couldn’t keep up this physical work, and I entertained re-entering the nursing field. However, I remember all the time I lost with my children, family and friends... AND, I was always making someone else rich.
