Right now she’s in California, saving up for a home and studying for CRNA school. Wishing you the best!!

I’m not in nursing, but the theme of abuse from customers seems to be the common thread among a lot of customer facing positions. I switched roles a year ago to reduce the amount of contact I have with customers due to verbal abuse that was taking a toll on my mental health. I’m glad you learned this early in your career and have a plan! I always recommend to travel while you’re young.

You can do so much with your degree. I saw a lady on a podcast that was a nurse she said she made $30,000 a month. I don't know how but y'all definitely deserve more than $30/an hour. I was making $24/hour as a bus driver. Traveling nurse could be more and there's things you can do outside traditional nursing. If I could get my 20's back, there's no telling what I would be doing right now.
