Dear Frannie,
I’m 39 years old and I’ve been a Registered Nurse for 18 years. I don’t have the desire or the time to go back to school, and I totally hate my job. I’m starting to hate the people I work with, too. I can’t imagine wiping crap, suctioning gross fluids, and turning 300 pound people over for another 30 years, but I make too much money to just stop.
Other than popping all the pills I can get my hands on, or downing wine any chance I get, how can I get through the next 30 years?
Thanks, Burned Out Babe
Dear Burned,
Hospitals are a hotbed of sex, pain, love, death, pleasure and passion. Here are your two options:
1. Death is on your doorstep every day, take advantage of him. He can be a pretty good guy, especially if he happens upon a very old, very rich, man whom you’ve happened to fall madly in love with, (just before he put you in the will and right after he passed away.)
or
2. There are horny, rich doctors crawling around your workplace like parasites. Brush your hair and put on make-up before work and wear some scrubs with 5% lycra in them that are bit too small with a plunging v-neck. Even if you end up landing a dink, you won’t have to see him much because he’ll be at work.
With love, Frannie
P.S. Please let me know what hospital you work for, so I never go there.
