Sorry about your daughter. I hope she's okay.
Thanks, though. It's a lot better here in Silicon Valley than it was in the ghetto in Chicago. It was pretty much a nightly occurrence to be wrestling a drug addict or drunk every night. Nights were measured by how many gun shots or stabbings we took care of. There's not nearly the culture of violence here, which makes work a lot easier.
It's still pretty high pressure and high stress. I could be a little weird, but working on my business is a lot less stressful for me. I hope it takes off.
- michaelneale 18y agoYeah she was fine. Lost a (baby) tooth, but no pain. So if your business does take off - you would cease to be an ER nurse? Just interested... I have a job, and if any business of mine took off, I am still happy to do what I do now (I guess that makes be one of the lucky ones).
- iamelgringo 18y agoNo, my plan is to leave nursing behind. My knees,legs and back can't handle another 15 years of this. I'm 35 and I'm going to have to have surgery for my varicose veins in a few months. I need to get out. The dream is to start making a little money with the site, and then be able to cut back a shift or two a week as I have more money coming in. We'll see how it goes. It's a lot of work to develop part time and work full time, even though I'm only working 3 days a week.
