I put in for a month of PTO knowing it could get denied. As nurses, that’s just what happens to us. It had happened to me before.
But this time, it was granted!
So I packed my backpack and set out on a month-long walk along the Camino de Santiago in Spain.
About three weeks while walking on a ribbon of brown dusty trail
It hit me
My dream job had turned into a nightmare job. And that felt so bad and difficult to admit because I had worked my whole life just to get to this point.
But admitting it changed everything.
I came home, saved like crazy, finished paying off my student loans.
A year later, I quit.
My plan was to take 6 months off. That turned into a year, then two, then 5.
Learning to invest on my own as a nurse is the thing that made it possible to work when I want, if I want.
And now I teach nurses at all levels of their career how to do it too.
I use compound interest, low fee investments, and a cash flow plan in order to live off my investments and take the trips I want when I want.
It worked so well that I got it State Board of Nursing approved so that nurses could finally have a financial literacy program that they can trust.
