Still Nursing At 90

(This story was taken from NurseTogether contributor Sue Heacock’s book “Inspiring the Inspirational: Words of Hope from Nurses to Nurses“.)

The other night, my husband and I were watching television when someone on a commercial stated something about retiring at age 90. I didn’t hear the rest of the dialogue because I was rolling on the floor and laughing too hard at the visual images I was getting of my own future. As a baby boomer that is not independently wealthy, I fully expect that the words, “I’m retired” will not be coming from my lips in this lifetime.
